The Bears’ wide receiver problems continued to mount Tuesday when David Moore left practice on a cart after suffering an apparent right leg injury during one-on-one drills.
That leaves the team with just eight healthy receivers, meaning it’s time to consider bringing in a free agent.
“You lose men on a 90-man roster, and it makes it difficult for the other guys,” coach Matt Eberflus said. “We’ve got to just keep on working through it.”
Of the eight healthy receivers, only Darnell Mooney and Equanimeous St. Brown are considered locks to make the final roster. That’s not ideal for quarterback Justin Fields as he prepares for a crucial season in which he needs to show the Bears he’s their answer.
Byron Pringle remained out with a quad injury and isn’t expected back soon. N’Keal Harry suffered an ankle injury Saturday, and Eberflus said it’s still unclear whether he’d be back before the season starts.
