The Bears produced a lengthy injury report, with five starters not practicing Thursday.

Guard Kyle Long, who practiced Wednesday, missed Thursday’s practice with a hip injury. He was on the injury report last week with the same problem.

Defensive lineman Akiem Hicks missed his second-straight practice with a right knee injury that coach Matt Nagy said would likely force a game-time decision Sunday. Eddy Pineiro didn’t kick, either, as he battles a pinched nerve in his right knee.

Receiver Taylor Gabriel remains in the NFL’s concussion protocol, while backup running Mike Davis missed his second-straight practice for personal reasons. Defensive lineman Bilal Nichols remains out with a broken hand suffered against the Broncos.

Safety Eddie Jackson was limited for the second-straight day with a shoulder problem, while tight end Trey Burton, tackle Bobby Massie, defensive end Roy Robertson Harris and receiver Cordarrelle Patterson were full participants.
