Chicago Bears Week 15 injury report Thursday: Health issues at RB

It will be another week of guessing whether the Bears will have someone available with experience playing in an offense that runs the football.

The Bears only had a walk-in Thursday but had to submit an injury report and list running back D'Andre Swift and backup running back Roschon Johnson as unable to practice as a result of the injuries. Swift is dealing with a hip injury and Johnson is still in concussion protocol after missing the last two games.

They also had running back Travis Homer on the injury report, but he appears to have recovered from the head injury as he was listed on the roster for full practice.

Swift played through the injury last week.

Slot cornerback Josh Blackwell is listed as unable to practice due to a shoulder injury and that could lead to the search for a new kick/kick returner. Blackwell was pressed into service for these duties following a season-ending hamstring injury suffered by DeAndre Carter earlier in the game.

The Bears' biggest problem is in the matchup against the Vikings

The losing streak takes its toll in a very familiar place

Why should Liam Quinn get the Bears coach's close attention?

Defensive tackle Jervon Dexter was also unable to practice due to a knee injury and guard Ryan Pitts suffered a concussion.

For the first time since suffering an ankle injury on Nov. 17, Elijah Hicks has been able to take practice, but only on a limited basis. Fourth safety Jonathan Owens has since started.

Coach Thomas Brown said he was unsure about the status of safety Jaquan Brisker, who is eligible to come off injured reserve but was not listed on the injury report. Brisker has been concussed since Oct. 6.
