Another Bears Injury in Secondary

The Bears had a few changes to their injury report Thursday and if they were looking for a little relief in their depleted secondary they didn't get it.

The play of Kyler Gordon has been lauded by coaches throughout the second half of the season but their rookie cornerback was limited in Thursday's practice due to a groin injury that was not an issue on Wednesday's injury report.

Also, cornerback Jaylon Jones remained in the concussion protocol and missed practice. Jones had been starting after the season-ending injury to Jaylon Johnson.

As it stands now, they'll likely be starting Harrison Hand and Breon Borders at cornerback along with Gordon if he is able to go. If not, then Michael Ojemudia, who has been with the team a week.

Long snapper Patrick Scales didn't practice Thursday as a result of a neck injury after he had been listed as limited on Wednesday. The Bears on Wednesday added former Steelers long snapper Kameron Canaday to the practice squad as a precaution.

Defensive tackle Angelo Blackson missed practice with an illness, as did linebacker Sterling Weatherford, but the Bears did get tight end Trevon Wesco back for a full practice after missing four straight games with an ankle injury, and they had safety Jacquan Brisker return to practice after a day away for personal reasons.

The Vikings on Thursday were still without center Garrett Bradbury (back) and defensive lineman James Lynch (shoulder), while linebacker Brian Asamoah (knee) was limited. Safety Josh Metellus returned for a full practice after being limited on Wednesday by a thigh injury.
