What is the story about?

The Chicago Bears are banged up heading into a Monday Night Football showdown against the Philadelphia Eagles, where there are some notable injuries including quarterbacks Caleb Williams and Tyson Bagent, as well as cornerback Tyrique Stevenson.

Stevenson suffered a hamstring injury in last Sunday's loss to the Minnesota Vikings, and head coach Ben Johnson said that the former second-round pick is "week-to-week" with his injury. On Thursday, the Bears hosted former third-round cornerback Elijah Jones for a tryout, per the Chicago Tribune's Brad Biggs.

It's also worth noting that the Bears didn't bring a kicker in for a tryout, which is encouraging considering Cairo Santos was listed as a non-participant on the Thursday injury report with a hip

inquiry.

Elsewhere, Chicago brought back long snapper Beau Gardner to the practice squad after waiving him for veteran Scott Daly this week. In a corresponding roster move, the Bears released wide receiver Scotty Miller from the practice squad.
