The Chicago Bears are off to a great start against the Green Bay Packers, but could be playing without their top return specialist.
Wide receiver Jakeem Grant was shaken up after a long punt return in the first quarter that was negated by penalty. Grant hurt his ankle on the Packers sideline.
According to Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune, trainers were looking at Grant’s leg and he was taken to the locker room. He was walking under his own power, however and is questionable to return.
