The Chicago Bears are gearing up for their Week 17 prime-time game against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday night, where Chicago has an opportunity to win the NFC North for the first time since 2018.
The Bears didn’t practice on Thursday, so they shared injury estimations, which didn’t include many updates from Wednesday. Wide receiver Rome Odunze and linebacker T.J. Edwards were listed as non-participants on Thursday while receiver Luther Burden III was once again listed as limited along with safety Kevin Byard, center Drew Dalman, nickel cornerback C.J. Gardner-Johnson and cornerback Nahshon Wright.
There are several players sidelined with an illness, including linebacker D’Marco Jackson, receiver Devin Duvernay, cornerback Nick McCloud and now cornerback Josh Blackwell.
Here’s a look at the Wednesday injury reports for the Bears and 49ers:
