The Chicago Bears released their Thursday injury report ahead of Sunday’s primetime game against the Kansas City Chiefs, and there were some defensive standouts.
Defensive tackle Akiem Hicks once again did not pop up on the injury report, and Bears coach Matt Nagy said that Hicks will play Sunday against the Chiefs. Nagy has insisted that these final two games will be treated like the others in terms of starters playing.

Cornerback Prince Amukamara was listed as limited during Thursday’s practice. Amukamara continues to nurse a hamstring injury suffered against the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving. He played last week against the Green Packers, but second-year cornerback Kevin Toliver saw some playing time, as well. If Amukamara can’t go, expect Toliver to get his third career start.
Wide receiver Taylor Gabriel (concussion) and right tackle Bobby Massie (ankle) did not participate in practice for the second straight day this week. They haven’t played since Week 12, where they suffered injuries against the New York Giants.
