In this story:

The Bears made major strides on the injury report Thursday health-wise but were without one key player.

Guard Nate Davis didn't participate in practice but not due to injury. The Bears listed his absence as a personal reason.  

They also were without tight end Marcedes Lewis, but they gave the 39-year-old former Packers player what amounts to a veteran's day off.

As for injuries, safety Eddie Jackson, safety Jaquan Brisker and defensive end DeMarcus Walker all were able to participate in a full practice a day after each had practiced on a limited basis. Jackson has an ankle injury, Brisker a groin injury and Walker a calf injury.

The only injured Bears player who did not practice on Thursday was backup linebacker Dylan Cole, who had missed Wednesday, as well, with a hamstring injury.

For Green Bay, receiver Romeo Doubs returned to the practice field after missing Wednesday due to a hamstring injury. He was able to go through a limited practice. Receiver Christian Watson missed for the second straight day Thursday due to a hamstring injury.

Outside linebacker Rashan Gary was limited in practice as he continues a comeback from a knee injury.

Wide receiver Dontayvion Wicks (hamstring) was able to return for a full practice and safety Anthony Johnson (knee) had a full practice.

Tackle David Bakhtiari was held out for rest.
