Bears injury report: RB Khalil Herbert a full participant

Bears running back Khalil Herbert took the next step toward returning to game action Sunday when he was a full participant in Thursday’s practice. Herbert practiced in full last week, but those were closer to walk-throughs because of the Bears’ short week. He was limited Wednesday.

Splitting carries between Herbert and D’Onta Foreman on Sunday would be a “fortunate position to be in,” offensive coordinator Luke Getsy said Wednesday. Herbert has practiced the last two weeks but still needs to be activated off injured reserve. He’s been out since hurting his ankle while trying to catch a Justin Fields pass against the Commanders in Week 5.

“We’re excited to get him back on the field,” Getsy said. “And exactly how much or all that looks like, I think … we’ve got to figure that out.”

Foreman — who was limited Thursday because of the ankle injury he suffered a week earlier — has earned carries, too.

“We love the downhill style that he’s been playing with and the physicality that he’s been playing with,” Getsy said.

Injury report

Bears middle linebacker Tremaine Edmunds, who hurt his knee two weeks ago against the Chargers, remains out with a knee injury. He did not practice Thursday. Jack Sanborn, who took Edmunds’ place in the middle the last two weeks, was limited with an ankle injury Wednesday but a full participant Thursday.

Linebacker Noah Sewell was limited with a knee problem. Tight end Marcedes Lewis got a veteran’s day off.
