The Chicago Bears had their first full-practice on Thursday since traveling to London. The Bears had a walkthrough practice on Wednesday but prior to that, Ryan Poles revealed that Jaquan Brisker, Terell Smith, and Zacch Pickens have been ruled out for Sunday's game.

After practice on Thursday, the Bears released an updated injury report for their Week 6 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Updated Chicago Bears injury report for Week 6

The biggest concern is Teven Jenkins. Jenkins has been banged up in recent weeks, dealing with both a rib injuyr as well as the most recent ankle injury. It's worth noting that Bill Murray impressed when filling in as the right guard for Jenkins in the victory against the Carolina Panthers this past week.

It's also worth mentioning that the Bears will be on the bye week after their game against the Jaguars on Sunday. Jenkins revealed in the offseason that the Bears tabled contract extension talks with him until the bye week. The impression was that the Bears wanted Jenkins to be able to prove he could remain healthy and available before signing him to an extension. So far this season, that hasn't been the case as Jenkins has struggled to remain on the field. When Jenkins has been on the field, he hasn't been all that productive.

Tyrique Stevenson also appeared on the injury report with a calf injury. The Bears' secondary will already be without Brisker so the loss of Stevenson wouldn't be ideal. As Stevenson was not listed on the simulated injury report on Wednesday, it seems that the injury may have happened during practice on Thursday.

Depth may also be added to the Bears' defensive line. The Bears have opened Jacob Martin's return window from IR. The fact Martin was a full participant on Thursday could suggest he has a chance of being activated by Sunday.
