The Chicago Bears will take on the New England Patriots on Thursday evening, and the teams have issued their final official injury reports before the game.
The Bears did not hold a typical practice on Wednesday, so the report is based upon a walk-thru and injury estimation.
The positive news is that starting right guard Jonah Jackson (hip/quadricep) was listed as a full participant. He carries no injury designation for Thursday’s game, so it would appear he’ll be ready to go come game time.
LB Keyshaun
Elliott (quadricep) was also listed as a full participant for the third time this week.
DB Tyrique Stevenson was listed as a full participant (hip) and carries a designation of “questionable” for the game.
Now, on to the bad news. RB Kyle Monangai (thumb/toe) was once again listed as DNP (did not practice) and will not play for the second consecutive week, carrying an “out” game designation. The same can be said for LB Jack Sanborn, who was DNP all week and is working back from a concussion.
LB T.J. Edwards (hamstring) was “limited” in practice for the first time this week after DNP designations on Monday and Tuesday. He is officially “questionable” for Thursday’s game.
The Patriots injury report is quite extensive. It is listed below.
Five Patriots are now officially considered “out” for Thursday’s game. That includes: starting LG Alijah Vera-Tucker (hamstring), starting RG Ben Brown (knee), starting CB Carlton Davis III (neck), reserve CB Karon Prunty (hamstring), and reserve CB Channing Canada (hamstring).
The Bears take on the Patriots Thursday evening at Soldier Field in Chicago, IL. The game takes place at 7:15 p.m. (Chicago time) and will be broadcast on Amazon Prime, as well as locally in Chicagon on FOX 32.
