The Bears ’offensive line has two players who have managed to stay on the field all season.
One of them is injury concern.
Left-hander Charles Lee Jr. and right-hander German Efedi are the only linemen to avoid injury or illness or both, and Leno has a toe injury, which Matt Nagy described as a “minor incident” on Wednesday.
“In practice people can often come down to the ground,” Nagy said. “He just had a small incident where he went down to the ground with his toes on his feet. We’re working on that in the meantime.”
Leno did not practice on Thursday.
“They were able to finish (Wednesday), but woke up today and were in a little pain,” Nagy said. “So we’re just keeping an eye on him. So he wasn’t out today. He’ll be the same day by day, where he’s physically. Again, if he can’t go, he’ll run the next-man-up type-deal. To be. ”
Jason Sprigs is a swing tackle. The Bears are also without right tackle starter Bobby Macy and are using Rashad Coward in position.
Nagy said, “What we’re trying to do is put the players in what we think are the best places to be, where they work together, what their streak is and how they work best. Is unified, ”Nagy said. “That’s where we are right now. There are some moving parts. But I think we feel pretty good with that right now.”
With 5 wins of the week over Tampa Bay, they are doing it, while left-back James Daniels went out with a pectoral muscle injury at the end of the season.
Now the point is who will actually come on the field. With Sam Mustifer re-available, it’s possible he can decide he’s better in the center with him and Cody Whitehair playing left guard. Or they could put Alex Bar on the left guard with Whitehair in the middle.
The second injury may be of greater concern and is the unit hiccups. He missed another straight practice of the hamstring.
“I mean he’s been here before and he’s back and so I cross my fingers,” Nagy said. “I don’t know if he will.
“Obviously I hope, I really hope it is. But again, we have some people right now who are in a position where some game-time decisions are going to be made where I can’t get an answer. You right now.”
Nagy doesn’t have to worry about losing hicks all week and then playing on Sundays.
“We just have to grind into rehab and live with it and they have to make sure they stay in the playbook and make sure they’re watching a lot of movies.”
The Packers also had some key injury issues on Thursday, as wide receiver Davant lost practice with a foot injury after practicing on a limited basis on Wednesday.
Adams is not the only injured Packers receiver. Tight and Mercedes Lewis missed a knee injury on Thursday, while the wide receivers were Equinimus St. Brown (knee), tight end Robert Tonian (ankle), wide receiver Marquis Valdes-Scantling (Achilles) and wide . .
