Windy City Gridiron
The Chicago Bears and Detroit Lions meet on Sunday in a game between two winless teams, and each team has issued its final injury report.
Considering how the Bears started the week, their list has to be regarded as good news. The following players all practice in full today and carry no injury designation: Cornerbacks Josh Blackwell and Jaylon Johnson, linebacker T.J. Edwards, running back Roschon Johnson, and wideout DJ Moore.
Getting those three defenders back should bolster a defense that will be without nickelback Kyler Gordon, who is out again with that hamstring issue. The Bears also list defensive tackle Grady Jarrett as questionable with a knee injury, and he was limited at today’s practice.
Rookie receiver Jahdae Walker (ankle) was held out today and is listed as doubtful.
Also, in case you missed it, earlier today, the Bears signed kicker Jake Moody to the practice squad.
The Lions have a relatively small injury report as well, but they will be without reserve linebacker Trevor Nowaske (ebow). Backup running back Sione Vaki (hamstring) is doubtful, but he was limited all week at practice.
Detroit lists two as questionable, starting left tackle Taylor Decker (shoulder) and starting safety Kerby Joseph (knee), but while Joseph wa slimited today, Decker missed the entire week of practice. Lions head coach Dan Campbell said that 10-year veteran Decker could go in the game without practice if he’s feeling good on Sunday, but that they’ll also think of his long-term health when making a decision.
