Bears injury report: Deon Bush, Sherrick McManis DNP during Monday’s walkthrough

The Chicago Bears released their first injury report of the week ahead of Thursday’s primetime game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Chicago Bears released their first injury report of the week ahead of Thursday’s primetime game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

The Bears held a walkthrough Monday. But if they had practiced, outside linebacker Khalil Mack would have been limited and safeties Deon Bush and Sherrick McManis wouldn’t have practiced.

McManis suffered a hamstring injury during Week 3’s game against the Atlanta Falcons and did not participate in practice last week and was inactive in Week 4. Bush suffered a hamstring injury during Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts.

Mack has been limited throughout the first four weeks of practice and questionable for each of those games. He’s been active in every game this season.

Week 4 Inactives: Bears S Sherrick McManis, QB Tyler Bray inactive vs. Colts

The Chicago Bears released their inactives for their Week 4 contest against the Indianapolis Colts, where there aren’t many surprises.

The Chicago Bears released their inactives for their Week 4 contest against the Indianapolis Colts, where there aren’t many surprises.

Defensive back and special teams ace Sherrick McManis won’t play after suffering a hamstring injury last Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons, which is a huge loss for Chicago’s special teams.

After some crazy speculation following quarterback Tyler Bray’s promotion to the active roster, the practice squad QB is officially inactive against the Colts, which makes the move all the more puzzling.

Also inactive for the Bears are running back Artavis Pierce, receiver Riley Ridley, offensive lineman Arlington Hambright and nose tackle Daniel McCullers.

As for the Colts, former Bears tight end Trey Burton is active. Burton was activated off injured reserve this week after suffering a calf injury during training camp.

The Bears and Colts kick things off at 3:25 p.m. CT.

Bears’ Khalil Mack, Josh Woods questionable, Sherrick McManis doubtful vs. Colts

The Bears released their game designations ahead of Sunday’s tilt against the Colts, and DB Sherrick McManis is doubtful.

The Chicago Bears released their final injury report ahead of Sunday’s Week 4 match-up against the Indianapolis Colts, where the Bears will look to remain undefeated through the first four weeks for the first time since their 2006 Super Bowl run.

And looking at the injury report, along with game designations, the Bears are looking a lot better than most teams heading into Week 4.

Defensive back and special teams ace Sherrick McManis is doubtful and outside linebacker Khalil Mack and linebacker Josh Woods are questionable for Sunday’s game against the Colts.

McManis suffered a hamstring injury in last Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons, and he looks to be the only Bear that won’t suit up in Week 4.

Mack has been questionable for the fourth straight week — as he was once again limited throughout the week — but there’s a 99.9% chance that Mack is ready to go against the Colts.

Woods suffered an ankle injury during Friday’s practice and is questionable for Sunday.

Bears injury report: Sherrick McManis did not practice again on Thursday

Not much has changed from Thursday’s injury report as the Bears prepare to face the Colts in Week 4.

The Chicago Bears released their second injury report of the week ahead of Sunday’s Week 4 match-up against the Indianapolis Colts, and not much has changed since yesterday.

Defensive back and special teams ace Sherrick McManis remains sidelined with a hamstring injury suffered during last Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons. It’s looking more likely that, aside from McManis, the Bears should be full speed against the Colts.

Outside linebacker Khalil Mack (knee) and safety Deon Bush (groin) remained limited in practice, but both will likely be good to go Sunday against the Colts.

Defensive tackle Akiem Hicks, linebacker Danny Trevathan, tight end Jimmy Graham, right tackle Bobby Massie and receiver Ted Ginn Jr. were all full participants Thursday following a scheduled veteran resting day on Wednesday.

Bears injury report: Sherrick McManis DNP, Deon Bush limited in Wednesday’s practice

Chicago Bears released their first injury report on Wednesday ahead of their Week 4 contest against the Colts.

The Chicago Bears released their first injury report on Wednesday ahead of their Week 4 contest against the Indianapolis Colts. And unlike last week, there are some injuries worth monitoring heading into Sunday.

Defensive back and special teams ace Sherrick McManis did not practice with a hamstring injury sustained during last Sunday’s game against the Atlanta Falcons.

For the fourth straight week, outside linebacker Khalil Mack was limited with a knee injury. But he’s played all three games thus far, and he’s looked plenty healthy. Safety Deon Bush was a new addition to the injury report, as he was limited with a groin injury.

Defensive tackle Akiem Hicks, inside linebacker Danny Trevathan, tight end Jimmy Graham, right tackle Bobby Massie and receiver Ted Ginn Jr. all had veteran rest days for the Bears.

Running back David Montgomery (wrist), safety Tashaun Gipson (neck) and inside linebacker Josh Woods (ankle) were all listed on the injury report but were all full participants in Wednesday’s practice.

Bears injury report: Robert Quinn, Sherrick McManis did not practice in team drills

OLB Robert Quinn and S Sherrick McManis did not practice during the team drills in Chicago’s first padded practice of training camp.

With the first padded practice in the books, there weren’t any major injury concerns for the Chicago Bears. Which is encouraging given some news around the NFL involving some significant injuries. But there were some small hiccups.

According to head coach Matt Nagy, outside linebacker Robert Quinn and safety Sherrick McManis did not practice in Chicago’s first padded practice on Monday.

Quinn, who the Bears signed to a massive five-year, $70 million deal, did participate in Monday’s padded practice. But he didn’t practice during the team portion of drills. Nagy said it was a “personal issue” and that Quinn is still ramping back up to practice.

As for McManis, he was also on the practice field Monday, but he was limited with a shoulder injury. Nagy said that it was “nothing to be worried about.”

The Bears had a visit with former Rams safety Marqui Christian

The Bears did some homework on free-agent safety Marqui Christian, who played four seasons with the Rams.

Following Jordan Lucas’ decision to opt out of the 2020 season due to COVID-19 concerns, the Chicago Bears lost a veteran safety they were likely going to carry on their 53-man roster.

While Eddie Jackson, Tashaun Gipson and Deon Bush are locks to make the roster, there are certainly some options for that fourth safety spot, including DeAndre Houston-Carson and Sherrick McManis. But it hasn’t stopped the Bears from exploring other veterans on the free-agent market.

The Bears met with veteran safety Marqui Christian on Sunday, according to Albert Breer.

Christian, a former fifth-round pick out of Midwestern State, recorded 83 tackles, three pass breakups and one tackle for loss in four seasons with the Los Angeles Rams.

If Christian were to find a home with the Bears, he wouldn’t be available until Week 3. According to Field Yates, Christian was suspended for the first two weeks of the regular season. Earlier this offseason, he agreed to a deal with the New York Jets in free agency that eventually fell through.

Bears 2020 training camp preview: Safeties

With Eddie Jackson sliding back over to his natural position at free safety, the Chicago Bears defense should get a big boost.

Potentially a question mark entering the offseason, the Chicago Bears quieted the doubters when they signed safety Tashaun Gipson to replace Ha Ha Clinton-Dix, who departed in free agency. Clinton-Dix was persuaded by friend and former Alabama teammate to join the Bears on a one-year, “prove-it” deal, which turned into another one-year deal with the Cowboys.

In order to accommodate Clinton-Dix, All-Pro safety Eddie Jackson slid over to strong safety, taking him away from plays on the ball. Now that Jackson is back in his natural position at free safety, the Chicago Bears defense should get a significant boost.

Let’s review what the Bears safety room looks like as a whole.

Back at free safety this season, Jackson should be more comfortable doing what he does best, which is making plays on the ball. The former fourth-round pick has quickly become one of the best safeties in the league, highlighted by an All-Pro year in 2018 where he tallied six interceptions, returning two for touchdowns.

Both of Jackson’s interceptions last year came in desperation mode for the opposition, but the Bears will be counting on him to create turnovers this year.

Bears 2020 training camp preview: Cornerbacks

Here is a breakdown of each cornerback as the Bears prepare for the start of training camp.

When the Chicago Bears cornerbacks take the field in just under a week, there will be some familiarity but also quite a bit of change. Pro Bowl cornerback Kyle Fuller returns as the team’s top option as he continues to establish himself as one of the best corners in the game, but he doesn’t know who his counterpart on the other side of the field will be.

Former starting cornerback Prince Amukamara was released in February and the Bears have brought in a bevy of players in free agency and the NFL Draft to compete for the starting position opposite of Fuller.

The position group will certainly be one to watch when camp officially begins. Here is a breakdown of each cornerback as the Bears get ready for the 2020 season.

Kyle Fuller continues to rewrite his own history as the former 2014 first-round draft pick went from bust to beast. Fuller put together another fine season in 2019, intercepting three passes and posting a career high in tackles with 82. His production did slip from his outstanding 2018 season, but that was in part due to the Bears’ front seven not generating enough pass rush. Fuller is a player who plays off the ball, able to watch the quarterback and receiver to make last-minute plays on the ball.

Fuller is one of the longest-tenured Bears and will be expected to lead the position group on and off the field more than ever now that Amukamara, one of the team’s key leaders since 2017, has moved on. His first task? Mentoring the Bears hotshot second-round draft pick.

9 Bears players coming back from injury ahead of training camp

This offseason has given injured Bears players an opportunity to get healthy heading into a crucial 2020 season.

One of the biggest challenges for any NFL team is to remain somewhat lucky on the injury front. It’s something that the Chicago Bears were able to do in 2018, where they didn’t suffer any significant losses long-term.

But the 2019 season was another story. The Bears suffered a number of injuries, including some significant losses on defense and offense. Chicago defense lost three of its best players and their top three tight ends all landed on injured reserve.

Luckily, this offseason has given those players an opportunity to get healthy heading into a crucial 2020 season.

Let’s take a look at nine players the Bears are getting back from injury heading into training camp.

The biggest boost to this Bears defense will be the return of Akiem Hicks, who anchors the middle of the defensive line. Last season, Hicks suffered an elbow injury against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 5. He landed on injured reserve for eight weeks before returning for Chicago’s biggest game of the season against the Green Bay Packers in Week 15. But Hicks re-aggravated the elbow injury that held him out most of the season.

Hicks’ return will bolster the entire front seven, including the pass rush, which struggled last season in his absence. Back in May, Hicks shared a video of his first time lifting weights without a brace on his elbow. And he’s confident he’ll be good to go come training camp.
