Bears DT Akiem Hicks not listed on Wednesday’s injury report

The Bears released their injury report for Wednesday, where Akiem Hicks, Roy Robertson-Harris and Javon Wims weren’t on the injury report.

The Chicago Bears returned to practice in preparation for a Sunday Night Football matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs, and there was some reassuring news on the injury front.

Defensive tackle Akiem Hicks was not listed on Wednesday’s injury report, which is good news considering he re-aggravated his dislocated elbow against the Packers last Sunday. Hicks fought through the discomfort, and he was a force on the field playing with essentially one arm.

Wide receiver Taylor Gabriel and right tackle Bobby Massie were the only names on the injury report, where they both did not practice. which is good news for defensive end Roy Robertson-Harris (who missed last Sunday’s game with a foot injury) and receiver Javon Wims (who was active but recovering from a knee injury).

Inside linebacker Danny Trevathan was placed on injured reserve earlier Wednesday, following a dislocated elbow suffered six weeks ago against the Lions.

Bears WR Cordarrelle Patterson pops up on Thursday injury report

There was a surprise on the Bears’ injury report on Thursday as they prepare for an NFC North showdown against the Packers.

The Chicago Bears didn’t receive any favors from their injury report as a new name popped up on Thursday. And it’s not a player the Bears can afford to lose heading into a pivotal game against the Green Bay Packers.

Receiver/returner/all-around weapon Cordarrelle Patterson was limited in practice Thursday with a head injury.

Cornerback Prince Amukamara was a full participant in practice for the second straight day. Amukamara is recovering from a hamstring injury, but barring any setbacks it seems like he’ll be ready for Sunday.

It’s not looking good for the six Bears that didn’t practice Wednesday, who all missed Thursday’s practice. Defensive end Roy Robertson-Harris remains sidelined with a foot injury, while receiver Javon Wims is out with what’s believed to be a slight knee sprain.

Receiver Taylor Gabriel and tight end Ben Braunecker remain in concussion protocol for a third straight week, and their statuses for Sunday don’t look good.

As far as hoping linebacker Danny Trevathan would be good to return to practice this week, it’s not meant to be as he’s missed practice both Wednesday and Thursday.

Bears place Roquan Smith on IR with torn pec

Chicago Bears linebacker and former Georgia Bulldog Roquan Smith will miss the rest of the 2019 season with a torn pectoral muscle injury.

Chicago linebacker Roquan Smith will miss the rest of the 2019 season with a torn pectoral muscle injury. The Chicago Bears defeated the Dallas Cowboys 31-24 earlier this week, but they lost one of their best players in the process. The second year linebacker out of Georgia is a key cog in Chicago’s dominant defense.

Chicago Bears coach Matt Nagy confirmed Smith is now being placed on IR:

It’s a big loss for the 7-6 Bears who are fighting to stay in the NFC playoff race. Chicago will miss Roquan especially after his historic Thanksgiving performance:

Smith will look to prepare for next season. Smith had 101 tackles on the season, two sacks and an interception. It’s a tough injury for Smith to recover from, but he has the talent and work ethic to return to the field for next season’s training camp.

Bears CB Prince Amukamara doubtful, Ben Braunecker, Taylor Gabriel out vs. Cowboys

The Bears released their final injury report ahead of Thursday’s game against the Cowboys, and CB Prince Amukamara’s status is doubtful.

The Chicago Bears released their final injury report ahead of Thursday’s game against the Dallas Cowboys, and it’s not encouraging news on the injury front.

Cornerback Prince Amukamara is officially doubtful against the Cowboys as he deals with a hamstring injury. That means we’ll likely see Kevin Toliver in his place, which isn’t encouraging given the Cowboys’ talented receiving corp.

The Bears have also ruled out four players for Thursday, including receiver Taylor Gabriel (concussion), tight end Ben Braunecker (concussion), right tackle Bobby Massie (ankle) and linebacker Danny Trevathan (elbow).

On the Cowboys front, three players have been ruled out against the Bears, and they’re all on defense. They are linebacker Leighton Vander Esch, safety Jeff Heath and defensive tackle Antwaun Woods.

The Bears and Cowboys kick things off at 7:20 p.m. CT on Thursday Night Football.

Bears Injury Report: Prince Amukamara held out of Tuesday’s practice

The Bears’ injury report lists CB Prince Amukamara still out with a hamstring injury, as well as DT Bilal Nichols, who was limited Tuesday.

The Chicago Bears (6-6) released their Tuesday injury report ahead of Thursday’s primetime matchup against the Dallas Cowboys (6-6).

For the second straight day, cornerback Prince Amukamara missed practice with a hamstring injury. If Amukamara can’t go for Thursday’s game, Kevin Toliver will likely start in his place.

Wide receiver Taylor Gabriel and tight end Ben Braunecker remain in concussion protocol and appear doubtful for Thursday night. In that case, Chicago will turn to some of its young prospects in second-year receiver Javon Wims and rookie tight end Jesper Horsted.

Defensive tackle Bilal Nichols popped up on Tuesday’s injury report, although Tuesday’s practice is essentially a Friday practice for the Bears. Nichols is typically limited given they practice indoors. He should be good to go against Dallas.

Right tackle Bobby Massie remains out with a high-ankle sprain that’s likely to sideline him for a few weeks. Linebacker Danny Trevathan also remains out with an elbow injury.

Injury designations will be revealed on Wednesday ahead of Thursday’s game against the Cowboys, and it doesn’t look good for those besides Nichols on the injury report.

Bears Injury Report: Prince Amukamara, Ben Braunecker, Taylor Gabriel DNP Monday

The Bears released their first practice report ahead of Thursday’s game vs. Cowboys, and CB Prince Amukamara DNP with a hamstring injury.

The Chicago Bears released their first injury report ahead of Thursday’s game against the Dallas Cowboys, and cornerback Prince Amukamara did not practice Monday with a hamstring injury.

Amukamara, who had five combined tackles in a Week 13 win over the Detroit Lions, was seen with trainers following a play during the game.

Tight end Ben Braunecker and receiver Taylor Gabriel remain on the Bears’ injury report following concussions suffered in Week 12 against the New York Giants. Both did not play against the Lions last Thursday nor did they practice Monday.

Right tackle Bobby Massie also remains on the injury report as he nurses a high-ankle sprain that’s expected to sideline him for a few weeks. Linebacker Danny Trevathan, who suffered an elbow dislocation against the Lions in Week 10, also did not practice.

WR Taylor Gabriel, TE Ben Braunecker among 6 Bears ruled out vs. Lions

The Bears have released their final injury report ahead of Thursday’s game against the Lions, and they’ve ruled out six players.

The Chicago Bears will be without six players when they face the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving.

The Bears released their final injury report ahead of Thursday’s game, and wide receiver Taylor Gabriel (concussion), tight end Ben Braunecker (concussion), right tackle Bobby Massie (ankle), cornerback Sherrick McManis (groin), tight end Adam Shaheen (foot) and linebacker Danny Trevathan (elbow) have all been ruled out against the Lions.

Gabriel, Braunecker, Massie, McManis and Shaheen will not make the trip to Detroit.

The Bears, who were already thin at tight end, are even thinner at the position with Braunecker and Shaheen’s injuries. That leaves Jesper Horsted and JP Holtz as the Bears’ tight ends heading into Thursday’s game against the Lions.

With Gabriel’s absence, expect to see a lot more of receiver Anthony Miller, who is coming off his best game this season with six catches for 78 yards, and Javon Wims. Rookie Riley Ridley might even see his first action this season.

With Massie being out for the next few weeks, expect to see Cornelius Lucas in his place, which makes the right side of that offensive line vulnerable. Rashaad Coward has been filling in for Kyle Long at right guard after he was sent to season-ending injured reserve. Expect rookie Alex Bars to also be active tomorrow with Massie’s absence.

Week 13 Injury Report: 6 Bears miss Tuesday’s practice

WR Taylor Gabriel and TE Ben Braunecker remain sidelined with concussions in the Bears’ Tuesday injury report ahead of Thursday’s game.

The Chicago Bears released their injury report following Tuesday’s practice, and it wasn’t encouraging news for those injured Bears.

Wide receiver Taylor Gabriel (concussion) and tight end Ben Braunecker (concussion) were among six Bears that did not practice Tuesday ahead of Thursday’s Thanksgiving matchup against the Detroit Lions.

Right tackle Bobby Massie, who suffered a high-ankle sprain against the New York Giants, is expected to miss several weeks with the injury. Cornelius Lucas is expected to relieve him in his absence.

Tight end Adam Shaheen missed practice again with a foot injury that’s expected to sideline him for the third straight game, which leaves the Bears thin at tight end. Jesper Horsted and JP Holtz will lead Chicago at tight end for Thursday’s game.

Special teams standout and cornerback Sherrick McManis also missed his second straight practice after suffering a groin injury against the Giants. Linebacker Danny Trevathan remains sidelined with an elbow injury.

Bears Injury Report: Taylor Gabriel and Ben Braunecker sidelined with concussions

There were 2 surprises on the Bears’ injury report ahead of Thursday’s game against the Lions in WR Taylor Gabriel and TE Ben Braunecker.

Following Sunday’s victory over the Giants, the Bears have a quick turnaround ahead of Thursday’s meeting against the Lions.

While Monday wasn’t an official practice day — it was a walkthrough, as the team played yesterday — there were several concerns on Monday’s theoretical practice injury report.

Wide receiver Taylor Gabriel and tight end Ben Braunecker were among six Bears that did not practice on Monday. Gabriel and Braunecker suffered concussions, which makes their status for Thursday iffy at best.

This is Gabriel’s fourth concussion of his career and the second this season. Gabriel was sidelined with a concussion for two games earlier this season after injuring his head against the Redskins in Week 3.

Right tackle Bobby Massie suffered a high-ankle sprain against the Giants, which is expected to sideline him for a few weeks. The status for special teams standout and cornerback Sherrick McManis isn’t much better, as he sustained a groin injury.

Adam Shaheen remains sidelined with a foot injury, which leaves the Bears thin at the tight end position considering Trey Burton’s placement on injured reserve and Braunecker’s concussion. That leaves Jesper Horsted, J.P. Holtz and Bradley Sowell as the Bears’ tight ends.

Linebacker Danny Trevathan remains sidelined with an elbow injury, which many expected to send him to injured reserve and end his season. But he remains on the active roster as the team looks for any positive signs of a potential return this season.

Bears QB Mitchell Trubisky will start vs. Giants

Just days after suffering a hip pointer against the Rams, Bears QB Mitchell Trubisky is good to go and will start against the Giants Sunday.

Chicago Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky is good to go for Sunday’s matchup against the New York Giants.

Less than a week after suffering a hip pointer in a loss to the Los Angeles Rams, Trubisky put in a full week of practice, including Friday, with no limitations, and he’s good to start for Sunday’s game.

Bears coach Matt Nagy said earlier this week if Trubisky was cleared to play that he’d “absolutely” be the starter against the Giants.

Trubisky has struggled mightily this season, where he ranks last in the leagye in passing yards per game (175.6), last in yards per attempt (5.6) and tied for 26th in pass TDs (9), among 33 quarterbacks.

Since Week 8, the Bears are averaging 14.3 points per game, which is second to last in the NFL during that time.

Trubisky has put together back-to-back solid performances against the Detroit Lions and Los Angeles Rams before suffering a hip injury. And going up against a Giants defense that has been terrible this season, Trubisky is hoping to make it a third.

As for the rest of the Bears’ injury report, right tackle Bobby Massie (back) is a full-go against the Giants. Linebacker Isaiah Irving (quad) practiced in full on Friday and is officially questionable for Sunday.

Meanwhile, tight end Adam Shaheen (foot) and linebacker Danny Trevathan (elbow) have been ruled out.
