The Chicago Bears released their first injury report ahead of Sunday’s game against the New Orleans Saints, and Wednesday’s report is quite alarming.
The Bears had four starters that did not practice due to injury. Outside linebacker Khalil Mack (ankle), receiver Allen Robinson (concussion), center Cody Whitehair (calf) and Cordarrelle Patterson (quad) all were sidelined on Wednesday.

Safety Eddie Jackson (knee), tight end Cole Kmet (back) and safety Sherrick McManis (hamstring) were all limited during Wednesday’s practice.
Jackson had an injury scare on Monday when it appeared that he suffered a non-contact injury to his knee, where many feared it would end his season. But Jackson soon returned to the game and even got his first defensive touchdown this season in the fourth quarter.
Whitehair left Monday’s game with a calf injury, but Matt Nagy sounded confident in his status moving forward.
We’ll see how Chicago’s injury situation shakes out, where they could be without some important players against the Saints.
