Bears’ top 2 wide receivers Rome Odunze, DJ Moore practice Thursday, trending toward playing vs. Vikings

There’s a pattern in how the Bears are handling nagging injuries to top wide receivers Rome Odunze and DJ Moore. It’s likely they’ll continue to monitor their workload during practices in order to have them as strong as possible on game days.

Moore and Odunze both returned to practice in a limited capacity Thursday, which is a good indication they’ll be on the field Sunday at the Vikings. Odunze had been dealing with an ankle injury; Moore has had various issues, but a shoulder injury is most prominent now. Both were out Wednesday.

Running back D’Andre Swift (hip) was limited in practice Wednesday and full-go Thursday.

The outlook isn’t as positive on defense, where safety Jaquan Brisker (back) and linebacker T.J. Edwards (hamstring) remained out Thursday. Edwards has missed four games, and it looks likely this will be his fifth. Cornerback Tyrique Stevenson is dealing with a shoulder injury, which kept him out Wednesday, but he practiced in full Thursday.

Bears injury report for Thursday:

RB D’Andre Swift (hip) – full
TE Cole Kmet (back) – full
WR DJ Moore (shoulder) – limited
WR Rome Odunze (ankle) – limited
WR Jahdae Walker (concussion) – out

DE Dominique Robinson (ankle) – full
LB T.J. Edwards (hamstring & hand) – out
CB Tyrique Stevenson (shoulder) – full
S Jaquan Brisker (back) – out

The NFL filed a grievance asking the NFLPA to stop its annual team report cards, which grades clubs on everything from leadership to training-table food, per ESPN.
The bad news, though, is that they’re still missing safety Jaquan Brisker and linebacker T.J. Edwards.
Through 10 weeks this year, though, Williams has been sacked just 14 times, which ranks 30th in the NFL. His loss of 93 yards ranks 28th.
