The Chicago Bears injury fortunes haven't been nearly as bad as the previous couple of seasons where practically a third to half of their roster spent considerable time on the shelf for one ailment or another. This year they've managed to avoid a catastrophic string of losses and it's been a big reason they've had such a big turnaround, going 10-4 and winning the NFC North.
The question becomes how healthy will they be able to stay before the playoffs? With a first round bye still up for grabs, the Bears have every reason to continue playing their starters against San Francisco and Minnesota these final two weeks. It could end up proving difficult to win those games with two key players down.
Star safety Eddie Jackson rolled his ankle in the win over the Packers while Aaron Lynch sprained his elbow. Both missed practice Wednesday and the prevailing belief is they won't play against the 49ers. However, the injuries aren't deemed serious. This means they're likely back by playoff time.
Not only that, but the Bears could get additional reinforcements on top of it.
