What happened Wednesday at Halas Hall:
Injury update
The Bears held a walk-through but issued an injury report estimating player participation if they’d held a full practice.
Running back Kyle Monangai, who missed Sunday’s game with turf toe, would have been ruled out, as would linebacker T.J. Edwards (hamstring), defensive lineman Dayo Odeyingbo (quad) and linebacker Keyshaun Elliott (quad).
Coach Ben Johnson called Edwards “week-to-week” and implied Odeyingbo wouldn’t be ready for Sunday’s game.
Tyrique Stevenson would have been limited because of a hip injury. Fellow cornerback Kyler Gordon, who must be activated off the physically-unable-to-perform list by next week or be lost for the season, would have been a full participant.
Dexter reunion
The Bears’ decision to trade Gervon Dexter to the Falcons for cornerback Clark Phillips III and a fifth-round pick worked out well for the defensive tackle. Last month, the Falcons gave him a four-year, $78 million contract extension. Whether it worked out well for the Bears is another question — their defense has been inconsistent.
“I think it was a win-win for both sides in terms of him getting a fresh start and going down to a really good style of defense that matches his skillset,” Johnson said.
No Hallmark
Johnson probably wouldn’t have attended the premiere of the Bears-themed Hallmark movie Tuesday even during a slow week.
This was decidedly not a slow week, thanks to the shellacking by the Packers, Montez Sweat’s suspension and quarterback questions.
His response when asked whether he attended the premiere was classic Johnson.
“Not a chance,” said Johnson, who appears in the movie.
