Full Bears vs 49ers injury report here from @wiltfongjr.
Sunday Night Football is getting a gem this week as the 11-win Chicago Bears and the 11-win San Fransicso 49ers meet up with playoff seeding scenarios on the line.
The Bears just dropped the injury report for the game, and they only list two players as out: wide receiver Rome Odunze and cornerback Nick McCloud. Neither player practiced at all this week, with Odunze still resting the stress fracture in his foot and McCloud away sick.
The illness bug also caught linebacker D’Marco Jackson, wideout/returner Devin Duvernay, and cornerbacks Nahshon Wright and Josh Blackwell. Jackson and Duvernay were full participants today and carry no injury designation, but Wright and Blackwell are both questionable. Wright, who also has a hamstring issue, was limited on Wednesday and Thursday while sitting out today, and Blackwell practiced on Wednesday but was out yesterday and today.
Also questionable for the Bears are linebacker T.J. Edwards (glute) and defensive back C.J. Gardner-Johnson (knee). Edwards got in a limited practice today, his first participation of the week, while Gardner-Johnson was full today after being limited earlier this week.
In case you missed it, Chicago opened the 21-day practice window for rookie offensive lineman Luke Newman (foot) earlier this week, and he’s listed as questionable. If he’s activated, the Bears would need to make a roster move to accommodate the transaction.
Receiver Luther Burden III, who missed last week’s game with an ankle injury, was full today and has no injury designation.
The ‘Niners report hasn’t been announced yet, but tight end George Kittle missed practice earlier this week, and it’s expected that he’ll be a game-time decision.
Once San Fran announces the report, we’ll share it here.
