Running back D’Onta Foreman, who has been hampered the last two games with a shin and ankle injury, wouldn’t have practiced Thursday had the Bears held anything more substantial than a walkthrough.
The Bears have additional depth at running back with Khalil Herbert back from his own ankle injury, but Herbert looked limited in his first game back Sunday against the Lions. He ran 16 times for only 35 yards.
Herbert, who spent time on the sideline against the Panthers, came out in the third quarter of the loss to the Lions.
Center Lucas Patrick, who suffered an injury to his back when he was blocked while the Lions thought they were returning a fumble, would have missed practice. The Bears were upset by the hit on Patrick, which they think came after the Lions knew there was no fumble.
Swing tackle Larry Borom would have sat out with an illness, and rookie linebacker Noah Sewell remains out because of a knee injury suffered during practice last week. He’s not expected to return soon.
