The Detroit Lions (4-7) Week 13 opponent, the Chicago Bears (5-6), have released their injury designations ahead of Sunday’s game and nine players are listed as questionable, including five starters.
Here’s a look at the Bears’ full injury designations list.
Injury status
| Player | Position | Injury | Designation |
| Khalil Mack | EDGE (starter) | Back | Questionable |
| Akiem Hicks | DE (starter) | Hamstring/Achillies | Questionable |
| Allen Robinson | WR (starter) | Knee | Questionable |
| Charles Leno | LT (starter) | Toe | Questionable |
| Germain Ifedi | RT (starter) | Calf | Questionable |
| Nick Foles | QB | Hip | Questionable |
| Darnell Mooney | WR | Knee | Questionable |
| James Vaughters | LB | Knee | Questionable |
| Josh Woods | LB | Foot | Questionable |
Mack is, of course, the big name on the list, and while he did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday, coach Matt Nagy insisted holding him out was just precautionary and they expected him to play on Sunday. On Friday, he got in a limited practice and appears on track.
Hicks is by far the Bears’ second-best player on a deep defense, and after missing last week with injuries, he got two limited practices in this week and has the potential to play.
Robinson, the Bears’ best player on offense, popped up on the injury report on Friday and received the questionable tag. Like with Mack, Nagy is preaching caution and says they will be monitoring him leading up to the game.
Left tackle Leno missed practice on Wednesday but returned to two limited practices the rest of the week, while right tackle Ifedi — an injury replacement himself — saw three limited practices. Both seem likely to play on Sunday.
Foles, saw a limited practice on Wednesday, followed by two full practices on Thursday and Friday, but Nagy has already named Mitchell Trubisky as the starting quarterback. If Trubisky struggles, Foles appears to be ready to step in.
