The Chicago Bears released their Thursday injury report, and it was more of the same regarding Chicago’s top pass rushers. Although with a new addition.
Outside linebackers Khalil Mack and Robert Quinn were limited for the second straight practice. Mack continues to nurse a knee injury, one that kept him limited throughout last week but he still managed to play Sunday.
Quinn, however, is dealing with an ankle injury that held him out of practice last week and caused him to miss last Sunday’s season opener against the Detroit Lions. The fact that Quinn is limited is certainly an encouraging sign that perhaps he’ll be good to go for Week 2. Although Bears head coach Matt Nagy has been known for playing it safe with injuries.
Defensive tackle Akiem Hicks, another important part of Chicago’s pass rush, did not practice Thursday with an undisclosed illness. If it’s nothing serious, Hicks should be good to go against the New York Giants on Sunday.

Elsewhere, Bears tight end Jimmy Graham and wide receiver Ted Ginn Jr. were full participants in Thursday’s practice following a veteran rest day on Wednesday.
On the Giants’ side of things, receiver Golden Tate remained limited with a hamstring injury, which caused him to miss last week’s opener against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Also limited for the Giants on Thursday was linebacker Carter Coughlin (hamstring) and defensive back Adrian Colbert (quad).
