The Chicago Bears (1-4) released their first injury report ahead of Sunday’s Week 6 game against the Minnesota Vikings (1-4) and it featured a number of new names, but also provided good news for others.
Center Lucas Patrick and running back Roschon Johnson did not participate after suffering concussions during the team’s win over the Washington Commanders last Thursday. Running backs Khalil Herbert (ankle) and Travis Homer (hamstring) also didn’t participate after exiting the game.
The good news is cornerback Kyler Gordon (hand) and center Doug Kramer (thumb) were back at practice after being designated to return from injured reserve, while safety Eddie Jackson (foot) and cornerback Jaylon Johnson (hamstring) were limited participants after missing the last few games.
