The Chicago Bears didn’t receive any favors from their injury report as a new name popped up on Thursday. And it’s not a player the Bears can afford to lose heading into a pivotal game against the Green Bay Packers.
Receiver/returner/all-around weapon Cordarrelle Patterson was limited in practice Thursday with a head injury.
Cornerback Prince Amukamara was a full participant in practice for the second straight day. Amukamara is recovering from a hamstring injury, but barring any setbacks it seems like he’ll be ready for Sunday.
It’s not looking good for the six Bears that didn’t practice Wednesday, who all missed Thursday’s practice. Defensive end Roy Robertson-Harris remains sidelined with a foot injury, while receiver Javon Wims is out with what’s believed to be a slight knee sprain.
Receiver Taylor Gabriel and tight end Ben Braunecker remain in concussion protocol for a third straight week, and their statuses for Sunday don’t look good.
As far as hoping linebacker Danny Trevathan would be good to return to practice this week, it’s not meant to be as he’s missed practice both Wednesday and Thursday.
