The Chicago Bears returned for their fourth padded practice on Saturday, which kicked up the tempo with a scrimmage between the offense and defense.
But there were several notable players that were absent from today’s practice, including receiver Allen Robinson. Robinson suffered an ankle injury during Friday’s practice, but head coach Matt Nagy didn’t sound too concerned.
Defensive tackle Akiem Hicks didn’t practice for the second straight day following a quad injury, although Nagy said Friday that he wasn’t worried. Tight end Jimmy Graham also did not practice Saturday on a veteran rest day.
So to recap:
Jimmy Graham had a vet day off
