The hits just keep on coming for the Chicago Bears offensive line.
Not only is Teven Jenkins expected to miss significant time through the first month of the regular season, but rookie right tackle Darnell Wright left Tuesday’s practice early.
According to media members in attendance, Wright didn’t finish practice and he had a noticeable limp. Here’s what happened, via 670 the Score’s Chris Emma:
Wright limped off the practice field Tuesday at Halas Hall after having his right ankle rolled up during team drills. Wright stayed in practice for two plays after his ankle was banged up before leaving for an evaluation with the Bears’ medical staff. He didn’t return to action.
Bears head coach Matt Eberflus was asked about Wright after practice, but he didn’t have an immediate update or timetable for return.
“I have not gotten clarity on that yet,” Eberflus said. “I don’t know exactly what that is.”
Wright’s injury is the latest in a growing list of injuries along the offensive line. Jenkins is reportedly dealing with calf injuries in both legs. Nate Davis missed a good portion of training camp with an undisclosed injury.
Then there’s Cody Whitehair, who’s day-to-day with a hand injury suffered in a joint practice with the Indianapolis Colts. Lucas Patrick, who’s missed the last couple of weeks, did return to practice and is in ramp-up mode.
