Bears Take Stock of Injuries

The bye week meant that the Bears got to take a good look at their injured players and make assessments on who would be ready to play soon. This year’s first round draft pick, Chris Williams, is reportedly not restricted in practice anymore after recovering from back surgery, but the Bears are staying mum on when the rookie tackle will actually make his debut.  More good news on the injury front is the progress of wide receiver Brandon Lloyd.  Lloyd has been out since he sprained his knee against the Philadelphia Eagles on September 28. He is now back practicing but is not yet 100 percent.

Lloyd said, “It’s never fun being out. I’m not benefiting at all. It’s kind of [about] getting better so I can get back on the field and be as effective as I was.”

As of now, the Bears receivers filling in for Lloyd are doing well, but adding Lloyd back in will increase the depth of the position even more.  The Bears are also working through injuries to cornerbacks Charles Tillman and Nathan Vasher, wide receiver Marty Booker, linebacker Hunter Hillenmeyer and free safety Danieal Manning.
