Chicago Bears injury report
The Chicago Bears released their final injury report of the week on Friday, and the news was mostly good. The Bears ruled out just one player for Sunday's game against the Lions:
* DL Angelo Blackson (knee)
Blackson has been dealing with a knee injury all week, and he was unable to practice on Thursday or Friday. His absence will be a blow to the Bears' defense, as he is one of their best run-stoppers.
In addition to Blackson, the Bears also listed three players as questionable for Sunday's game:
* WR Byron Pringle (calf)
* CB Kindle Vildor (ankle)
* S Jaquan Brisker (concussion)
All three of these players were able to practice on a limited basis on Friday, so they have a chance to play on Sunday. However, their status will need to be monitored closely throughout the weekend.
The Bears are coming off a tough loss to the Vikings last week, so they will need to be at full strength to beat the Lions on Sunday. The Lions are a tough opponent, and they will be looking to avenge their loss to the Bears in Week 1.
The Bears will need to get a good performance from their defense on Sunday, and they will need to be able to run the ball effectively on offense. If they can do those things, they will have a good chance to win the game.
