Bears Week 15 injury report: Jaquan Brisker (groin) sidelined Thursday

Here’s a look at the Bears’ Week 15 injury report following Thursday’s practice:

The Chicago Bears (5-8) released their second injury report ahead of Sunday’s Week 15 game against the Cleveland Browns (8-5).

The good news is wide receiver DJ Moore returned to practice Thursday after missing Wednesday with an ankle injury. Moore was a limited participant, but he appears to be trending in a positive direction to play against the Browns.

Unfortunately, safety Jaquan Brisker didn’t practice Thursday after being a limited participant Wednesday with a groin injury. It’s an injury that bears monitoring heading into Sunday’s game.

Elsewhere, wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown (pectoral) didn’t practice while linebacker Noah Sewell (knee) was limited and tight end Marcedes Lewis had a veteran rest day.

Bears Week 15 injury report: DJ Moore (ankle) didn’t practice Wednesday

Here’s a look at the Bears’ Week 15 injury report following Wednesday’s practice:

The Chicago Bears (5-8) released their first injury report ahead of Sunday’s Week 15 game against the Cleveland Browns (8-5).

The big news of the day is defensive end Yannick Ngakoue landing on season-ending injured reserve with a broken ankle. Chicago’s injury list heading into Week 15 is short (especially compared to the Browns), but there’s a notable name.

Wide receiver DJ Moore didn’t participant in Wednesday’s practice with an ankle injury, which is something worth monitoring this week. Safety Jaquan Brisker (groin) was limited while wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown (pectoral) and linebacker Dylan Cole (personal) both didn’t practice.

Bears Week 9 injury report: Who practiced, who didn’t on Wednesday

Here’s a look at the Bears’ Week 9 injury report following Wednesday’s practice:

The Chicago Bears (2-6) released their first injury report ahead of Sunday’s Week 9 game against the New Orleans Saints (4-4).

The Bears conducted a walkthrough on Wednesday, so the practice statuses were projections. Quarterback Justin Fields, who was previously ruled out for Sunday, was listed as a non-participant.

Safety Jaquan Brisker, who landed back in concussion protocol this week, and linebacker Tremaine Edmunds, who suffered a knee injury against the Chargers, were both listed as non-participants.

Left tackle Braxton Jones is in the second week of his three-week practice window to return from injury reserve, where he was officially listed as limited.

The good news? Safety Eddie Jackson, who was active but didn’t play Sunday night, was listed as a full participant.

Bears Week 8 injury report: Who practiced, who didn’t on Thursday

Here’s a look at the Bears’ Week 8 injury report following Thursday’s practice:

The Chicago Bears (2-5) released their second injury report ahead of Sunday’s Week 8 prime-time game against the Los Angeles Chargers (2-4).

The injury report remains a crowded one with some prominent players listed as not participating or as limited participants. Quarterback Justin Fields, who remains week-to-week with a right thumb injury, didn’t practice once again. He’s doubtful, and rookie Tyson Bagent is expected to make his second NFL start.

Elsewhere, safety Jaquan Brisker did not practice for the second straight day with an illness. It’s a situation that bears monitoring heading into Friday’s practice. Right guard Nate Davis didn’t practice again, as he deals with an ankle injury. The good news? Right tackle Darnell Wright was a limited participant in practice after missing Wednesday’s workout.

More good news: Safety Eddie Jackson (foot) practiced for the second straight day, along with running back Roschon Johnson (concussion) and left tackle Braxton Jones (neck), who was designated to return from injured reserve.

Chargers TE Gerald Everett’s hip injury could prove costly

Gerald Everett is a key piece of the offense.

Gerald Everett initially was given a groin injury diagnosis in an official mid-game communication against the Chiefs on his status. Later on, head coach Brandon Staley revealed that Everett was actually dealing with a hip injury. On Wednesday’s practice report prior to the Sunday night matchup against the Bears, Everett was a non-participant with the aforementioned hip designation.

Not having Everett this week or for an extended period would prove costly from a blocking perspective for the Chargers. Tre’ McKitty and Stone Smartt rank 82nd and 84th, respectively, of 87 graded tight ends on Pro Football Focus. Donald Parham, traditionally a decent blocker, has also declined in performance this year as the 73rd-ranked tight end. It’s worth noting that he is specifically playing through his wrist injury recovery.

In Parham’s defense, he has been a big part of the Chargers’ red zone identity, as Kellen Moore has given him quality targets. Using his size and leverage in that area is huge for LA. But between the 20-yard lines, Everett is the team’s best receiving tight end in space. That’s in addition to being their best blocker.

McKitty was a healthy scratch last week against Kansas City. Asked about that as his media availability, Staley said the decision was more of a matchup-specific issue than anything regarding the former third-round draft pick. If Everett can’t go, McKitty would have to be active. It’s also possible that Nick Vannett could be activated off of the practice squad for the first time this season.

We’ll have to monitor Everett’s progress throughout the week to see if he can contribute for the Chargers on Sunday Night Football against Chicago.

Bears Week 8 injury report: Who practiced, who didn’t on Wednesday

Here’s a look at the Bears’ Week 8 injury report following Wednesday’s practice:

The Chicago Bears (2-5) released their first injury report ahead of Sunday’s Week 8 prime-time game against the Los Angeles Chargers (2-4).

It’s another crowded injury report with five prominent players not practicing on Wednesday, including quarterback Justin Fields, who remains week-to-week with a right thumb injury.

Other players sidelined Wednesday: Safety Jaquan Brisker (illness), right guard Nate Davis (ankle), right tackle Darnell Wright (shoulder/toe) and cornerback Terrell Smith (illness).

There is good news: Safety Eddie Jackson (foot) was back at practice, along with running back Roschon Johnson (concussion) and left tackle Braxton Jones (neck), who was designated to return from injured reserve.

Raiders, Bears Thursday injury report: QB Jimmy Garoppolo misses another practice

QB Jimmy Garoppolo misses another practice with back injury

Once again the Raiders were without starting quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo who suffered a back injury in last Sunday’s game against the Patriots. Also still missing for the Raiders is CB Nate Hobbs, though he’s been missing for a while now.

The Raiders aren’t alone in being without their starting QB and a starting defensive back. The Bears have been without Justin Fields for both of their practices this week. Also among those missing practice today was safety Eddie Jackson with a foot injury.

The Bears were also without OL Nate Davis, OL Dan Feeney, RB Roschon Johnson, DB Terrell Smith, OL Darnell Wright, and TE Marcedes Lewis.
