HUGE Chicago Bears Injury News: Grady Jarrett Surgery? DJ Moore Trending Up? Cairo Santos OUT Again?

Welcome into Chicago Bears Now. My name is Harrison Graham. On today’s show, we discuss the latest Bears and Saints injury reports. Couple of uh interesting uh tidbits here that I want to get into in that regard as well. plus some potential roster news uh when it comes to 53man roster shuffling that could take place over the next couple of days before kickoff on Sunday. Want to talk about Grady Jarrett first though because remember after the season opener he wasn’t practicing much with the knee issue but he was playing on Sundays. He played week two against the Lions, week three against the Cowboys and then since that game he has not played or practiced. And it’s like oh what’s going on? Did he injure that knee worse? Why? If so, why hasn’t he gone on to short-term IR? Well, Brad Bigs alluded in an article today that he had a procedure. He said Jarrett has been sidelined since the week three win over the Cowboys. It’s my belief he likely had a procedure on his right knee. Had the Bears placed Jarrett on IR, the earliest he could have returned would have been the November 2nd game in Cincinnati. So, it’s fair to think the Bears will get him back sooner rather than later. Now, if that’s true, cuz he did not practice today. We’ll have the full injury report. Doesn’t sound like he’s playing Sunday. Probably should have put him on IR. Even if he returns that ne next week, it’s like, okay, he only missed three games instead of four. But my typical rule of thumb, unless it’s a superstar player, if your projections of an injury timetable are you’re going to miss at least three games, if not four or more, just go ahead and put him on IR and settle for the four game minimum because he just that roster spot is valuable. and he hasn’t been able to practice. He hasn’t been able to play. Now, if he plays this week, okay, made the right call. He only missed two games. And who knows, maybe the timet changed. So, sometimes that happens. But, uh, feels like they probably should have just put him on injured reserve. Hopefully, he can return next week. Hopefully, he can play this Sunday, but he was not out there today. So, I think that would be a pretty big surprise if he returned, especially if he had surgery. That would be quite the turnaround. So, uh, we’ll see when he does return to the field. Okay, speaking of a guy in the opposite direction, is DJ Moore trending up, trending in the right direction toward playing? Certainly seems so. On yesterday’s injury report, which was an estimation, uh they did not practice yesterday. Uh he did not practice, but today he was limited. Uh and this of course all become comes after uh staying overnight in the DC area in a hospital. A lot of rumors of what’s going on there. Uh the Bears called the Deoid injury. He’s also being labeled with a hip injury. you stay overnight in a hospital. You know, I don’t know exactly what happened, but uh you guys can probably figure it out. They probably had to do some kind of testing with something uh in addition to those injuries. Uh I’m guessing he plays on Sunday. Slow return to practice this week. Didn’t do anything yesterday, limited today. Guessing he does more tomorrow, and we’ll be good to go for Sunday. Uh one thing you can’t question with DJ is his toughness. He’s taken a lot of big hits uh in his career playing for the Chicago Bears. So, my gut tells me he’ll play. Tomorrow will be a little bit more telling in terms of what his status is on the injury report. But, uh, if he’s already back and limited here, uh, I think he’s, uh, going to be in a good spot to play on Sunday. This is why you subscribe to the channel.

All right, Bears injury report did not practice today. Grady Jarrett with that knee, which we discussed in full. I don’t expect him to play Sunday. I also don’t expect Noah Su uh to play this week. Nasty looking concussion on that friendly fire from Jonathan Ford. That was kind of tough to watch to be honest. I was happy to see him walk off the field under his own power, but uh I think short week concussion, I don’t expect him out there. And then Kairo Santos with the thigh injury, his right thigh, which of course is his kicking leg, uh I think with him being a weak-legged kicker, and I’ve referenced this a couple times, you got to be 100%. You know, if you’re Brandon Aubrey and you’re 90%, I’m putting you out there. Kyro Santos, I need you 100% uh to put you out there uh especially in a game in October. So, I would expect Jake Moody again. We’ll see if he does anything tomorrow. Uh, limited today. DJ Moira, which we broke down, dealing with that hip groin issue, uh, plus potentially something else. Uh, I think he’s trending up. Aean Agbog Bam, more on him in a second. His practice window opened, uh, today, one of your key special teamers. And with Noah Su likely out this week, maybe they try to activate him and he could be your third linebacker this week if they don’t think Ruben Hiplight’s ready for that role. So, keep an eye on him. He was limited. And then uh DeAndre Swift uh popped up uh with a groin. And I think this is notable because he was a full participant yesterday. And typically when someone’s full and then the next day pops up as limited, that usually, not always, usually means that the player on the day they pop up limited started the day full go and tweet something in practice, which is why it became limited because he probably didn’t finish practice. Here was what Ian Rapaort tweeted. I think it’s notable that Rap Sheet sent something out. He was probably sent something from the Bears. He said DeAndre Swift was limited in today’s practice with a groin injury after being a full participant yesterday in what was actually a walkthrough and an estimated participation. More info tomorrow on how he responds. Definitely something to monitor because a coming off a great game, easily his best game of the year, maybe his best game as a Chicago Bear, and B again yesterday wasn’t a true physical practice, but to go from full to limited, did something pop up today? Did they do a medical check this morning? and uh didn’t like what they saw. So, uh it’s not like he was a DNP, but uh definitely something to monitor tomorrow because if he can’t go for whatever reason this weekend, then you know, you got Kyle Manungi, Roshan Johnson, would you maybe activate Travis Homer? You could also elevate Britain Brown for a game day elevation off the practice squad. He had a good preseason, but uh Swift uh looked really good this past week, so you hope he’s able to play and build off of that. Uh, as far as Abog Bamiga goes, uh, the Bears PR tweeted out that his practice window, uh, was open. So, again, uh, do you, um, is he, you know, on three practices or really just two today and tomorrow, uh, going to be ready enough, uh, to be elevated because remember Travis Homer and Austin Booker, who we’ll talk about in a sec, they practiced all week last week in full and were not activated. So, for a O to practice twice and be ready for a game on Sunday might be a stretch, but we’ll have to wait and see. Speaking of Austin Booker, Travis Homer, and also Jonah Jackson, who was a DNP estimate yesterday, he was full today, so he’s fine to go with that ankle. Uh Homer dealing with that calf dating back to the preseason and Booker dating back to the preseason with that knee. They’ve been full participants dating back to last week. I was shocked that Booker didn’t play in that Monday game. I hope he plays this week. I mean, I said last week, I expect him to. I don’t know if I can use the word expected considering he didn’t get activated last week, but I am hopeful uh that he can. Now, the Bears defensive line did show a little more juice. So, you know, if he’s not full throttle and if they want to hold him out an extra week, they can, but they got to make a decision by next week because when you start the 21-day window, uh if that 21 days comes and goes and you don’t activate them, they’re out for the year. They stay on IR. So, um I can’t imagine that would be the case, especially with Austin Booker. Now again, if they activate him, Homer, Agbog, Vamiga, uh anywhere from one to three players, well, you’re going to have to cut somebody or play someone on IR to match those movements. So, if they uh let’s just say they add only Austin Booker and and they keep the other two guys on short-term IR to no passing, he was a healthy scratch Sunday or Monday. I’m guessing he could be on the way uh off to 53. Carl Jones, DeMarco Jackson. Now, without Noah Sul this week, you wouldn’t want to cut more than one of those guys. So maybe you wouldn’t go that route this week. Uh Jay Walker was a healthy scratch uh on Monday. I really like him, but you know, if it comes a numbers game, do do you cut him loose? I personally would add Deon Duet to this list, but they don’t seem to trust someone else to handle kick or punt return and kickoff return duties next to Luther Burton, but he hasn’t really shown me much if I’m being honest. Chris Williams. They’ve elevated Jonathan Ford who’s seemingly played more than Chris Williams as a practice squad player the last couple weeks. But again with J Grady Jarrett out, do you want to cut a defensive tackle? So few names to consider there. I think if it’s for Booker specifically, Passeno is probably the player to watch uh in terms of a player that could get cut. Okay, who should the Bears cut for Austin Booker? If you’re picking somebody, who would it be? uh because uh at some point they’re going to make a roster move, if not multiple roster moves. So uh you let me know who that player is. Okay, real quick. The Saints uh injury report uh has also dropped as uh Alvin Chimera, who was a DNP yesterday, he was limited today. So you would think he’s trending up toward playing uh plus a vet. Sometimes they just ease those guys through the week. Isaac Yaidum, he was limited with the hamstring after being a DMP yesterday. Chris Ave limited yesterday, full today. Same with Alante Taylor. So, uh, they’re in good position to play on Sunday. John Rididgeway full for a second straight day. Uh, Devon Godsho, uh, did not practice, but kind of like Mercedes Lewis last year, just a veteran rest day. Uh, he should be fine. All right, there you go. the latest injury news for both the Bears and the Saints and some potential roster maneuvers that could take place if they choose to activate one of if not all three of Austin Booker, Travis Homer, and Aman Agbog Bamga. If anything happens on that front, we’ll have you covered with a video or at least a YouTube short. So, be on the lookout for that. My name is Harrison Graham.
