Breaking: Injury Hammers Bears Ahead of Prime-Time Clash: 4 Key Contributors Out for Thursday Night Football
The Chicago Bears will be without four players on “Thursday Night Football” against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 17, according to the team’s latest injury report.
The Bears will be without safeties Elijah Hicks (ankle/foot) and Tarvarius Moore (knee), as well as running back Travis Homer (hamstring) and guard Teven Jenkins (calf).
Chicago also has three players listed as questionable ahead of Thursday’s contest: defensive lineman Gervon Dexter Sr. (knee), offensive lineman Doug Kramer Jr. (shoulder), and linebacker Amen Ogbongbemiga (hip).
The Bears have depleted depth at the safety position, prompting the team to sign Adrian Colbert from its practice squad to the active 53-man roster.
It’s not the only position that has taken a hit recently as the offensive line lost Braxton Jones to a season-ending ankle injury against the Detroit Lions last weekend and now have ruled out Jenkins this week.
The injuries on the left side of the offensive line means two new starters will fill Jones’ and Jenkins’ spots on a short week.
The Seahawks have not yet released their final injury report on Wednesday, but running back Kenneth Walker III (ankle) hasn’t participated in practice all week while his teammate Zach Charbonnet (elbow) practiced in full on Tuesday.
The teams will kick off at 7:15 p.m. on Thursday at Soldier Field.
