The Chicago Bears released their injury report for Friday ahead of Monday night’s game against the Los Angeles Rams, and there are certainly some concerns on the defensive side of the ball heading into Week 7.
Outside linebacker Khalil Mack did not practice on Friday with a back injury, while defensive tackle Akiem Hicks was sidelined for the second straight practice with an illness.
Bears coach Matt Nagy told reporters that Mack’s injury was nothing major, just soreness, and he’s being precautionary more than anything. As for Hicks, Nagy said he’s sick and wasn’t able to practice, although it has nothing to do with COVID-19.

Cornerback Buster Skrine also did not practice for the second straight day with an ankle injury, and his status for Monday night is likely up in the air. Safety and special teams ace Sherrick McManis also missed his second straight practice with a hamstring injury.
Defensive tackle Bilal Nichols was limited with a sore knee and Safety Deon Bush was also limited for the second straight as he recovers from a hamstring injury.
Offensive lineman Rashaad Coward, defensive end Brent Urban, receiver Javon Wims, offensive lineman Jason Spriggs, safety Eddie Jackson and offensive lineman Alex Bars were all full participants on Friday.
