Bears Injury Report: Matt Forte, Lance Briggs, Alshon Jeffery

The Chicago Bears ruled out wide receiver Devin Hester and offensive lineman Chris Spencer yesterday, but the team expects running back matt Forte (ankle), cornerback Charles Tillman (ankle) and Lance Briggs (ankle) all to play Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks.

Briggs and Tillman each missed practice Wednesday due to their ankle injuries, leading some to believe their status for this weekend’s matchup against Seattle could be in question. However, the defensive stars returned in a limited capacity Thursday and were full participants Friday.


Forte was limited due to his ankle injury Wednesday and Thursday, but he also was a full participant at practice Friday. All three players are listed as probable and are expected to play.

Other than Spencer and Hester, who have already been ruled out, everyone on the Bears’ injury report is probable to play outside of wide receiver Alshon Jeffery. After returning from injury last week, the rookie hurt his knee and it caused him to miss practice all week and has him listed as doubtful against the Seahawks.
