The Bears have another injury to their defensive line.
One week after the team put Yannick Ngakoue on injured reserve with a broken ankle, coach Matt Eberflus said Wednesday that DeMarcus Walker wouldn’t be able to practice Wednesday because of a leg injury suffered Sunday against the Browns. He will, however, participate in the walk-through portion of Wednesday’s slate.
The Bears have shortened practice and ramped up walk-throughs lately to deal with injuries.
“We need another day to assess, and he’s day-to-day right now,” Eberflus said. “But it looks to be good.”
Walker played both tackle and defensive end in Sunday’s 20-17 loss. Dominique Robinson, a healthy scratch since late October, played 19 snaps to help fill in for Ngakoue.
Guard Teven Jenkins remains out; he’s in concussion protocol after being carted off the field in Cleveland.
“The league has put that in place for a good reason,” Eberflus said.
