Bears Week 16 Inactives: Prince Akumarka will play vs. Chiefs

Bears CB Prince Amukamara is active against the Chiefs and figures to split reps with second-year cornerback Kevin Toliver.

The Chicago Bears have released their list of inactives for tonight’s game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Last night, defensive tackle Akiem Hicks was ruled out, as he nurses an elbow that landed him on injured reserve earlier this season. But they got good news about the status of another defensive starter in cornerback Prince Amukamara, who is officially active against the Chiefs.

Amukamara suffered a hamstring injury against the Detroit Lions in Week 13, and he’s been recovering ever since. He missed the following week against the Dallas Cowboys, and then he split reps with second-year cornerback Kevin Toliver in Week 15 against the Green Bay Packers.

The Bears figure to split reps between Amukamara and Toliver tonight against the Chiefs.

The Bears and Chiefs kick things off at 7:20 p.m. CT on NBC.
