What does the Chicago Bears Week 17 injury report look like?
As we head into the final week of the season, we see the final injury report of another injury riddled year. The team added a name from last week and some of the names to watch did not progress.
Bears practice report (last week!)
— Kevin Fishbain (@kfishbain) December 27, 2017
DNP: Massie, Sitton
Limited: Shaheen, Sowell
Full: Compton
The new name on the report is Bobby Massie. Massie has not missed a start and has hardly missed any repetitions in practice, let alone see a DNP. Given his status, the week it is, and the surprise nature of the injury report, it would be highly unlikely to see him play on Sunday.
Even more unlikely would be seeing Josh Sitton play again this year. Sitton missed last week and seeing that he is not on the road to recovery means the team is just playing out the string. He will not be back again in 2017.
Adam Shaheen is really the only name worth watching. Any snaps he can get on an NFL football field will matter and will help in momentum towards the offseason. Being limited at least gives him the chance to get on the field on Sunday, and it would matter.
Bradley Sowell swaps with Tom Compton on and off of the practice squad. Compton will jump into the guard spot, as he was a full participant.
The only thing to be watching for on Thursday and Friday is Shaheen. If he can get full by Friday he should be good to go, but if he is not getting full reps, he is likely going to see the bench.
