Chicago Bears Jerseys 2019 , Ill. (AP) — Lions on Sunday at Soldier Field.Asked if he would be 100 percent
healthy or hindered by the sprained right ankle he suffered Oct. 14, the Chicago
Bears‘ pass rusher smiled on Friday, but hedged.“You want me to give up
everything?” Mack said. “When I get there, I’m going to try to be myself.”If
that means 100 percent healthy, it could be a problem for Lions quarterback
Matthew Stafford — especially after the Lions (3-5) gave up 10 sacks to the
Minnesota Vikings last week.Mack has been out two weeks but practiced Friday to
complete three straight days of full work. He is not listed on Chicago’s injury
report and is expected to play.Also expected to play is wide receiver Allen
Robinson (groin), who was dropped from the injury list after completing Friday’s
practice.“They’re doing good right now and I like what I see,” Bears coach Matt
Nagy said. “So we’ve just got to continue to keep it in that direction. And if
we do, then come game time
Riley Ridley Jersey Color Rush , we’ll be able to make a decision and feel good one way or the other.”Mack had five sacks in the first four games, then tried
playing through the injury in two games before sitting and seeing his streak of
70 straight games come to an end.“We know what we’ve got here and just
understanding the situation, it was better for the team,” Mack said. “So I bit
my tongue and sat back and listened instead of trying to do too much in the
situation.“We got two wins and trying to make it three.”The victories made
sitting somewhat easier to accept, but Mack did want to be a part of them.“It
was real tough for me, knowing the type of person that I am,” Mack said. “But
even then I’m excited to get out there this week.”The Bears (5-3) continued to
play effective defense without Mack, who came over in a trade with Oakland just
before the start of the season. They rank fifth overall and third against the
run.“I’m excited to come here and play with these guys
Mens Riley Ridley Jersey , knowing that they have the talent that they have,” Mack said. “Even without me, it’s a hell of a thing.“I’m excited to be a part of the
party this week and get ready for Detroit.”Nagy likes how the team handled
getting past the injuries to Mack and Robinson. Aaron Lynch moved into the
lineup in place of Mack, while Taylor Gabriel and Anthony Miller stepped up as
targets for Mitchell Trubisky.“I think one of the things, you always want to
have a contingency plan in case,” Nagy said. “We’ve had a couple guys this year
where we’ve had to deal with backups in certain cases, and I think our guys have
done well. Having depth, that’s important for any team in this league to be able
to feel good with that going into it.”NOTES: Bears wide receiver Taylor Gabriel
(knee) practiced Friday for the second straight day and is off the injury
list
Cheap Riley Ridley Jersey , as well. Defensive end Bilal Nichols was limited in Friday’s practice and goes in Sunday as questionable. … The other personnel
matter to be decided at game time for the Bears is whether to activate tight end
Adam Shaheen from injured reserve after he went out in the preseason with a foot
injury. There are only three points on the board, but the Bears will take a
start like this.Their defense just stopped a Vikings drive, with Khalil Mack
forcing a Dalvin Cook fumble, giving them the ball back at their own 15, as they
hold a 3-0 lead.It was Mack’s fifth forced fumble of the season, an immediate
benefit from their bold preseason trade.The Bears haven’t allowed much to the
Vikings so far, forcing a three-and-out on the first possession before the
turnover on the second.They got out to an early lead when Cody Parkey hit a
33-yard field goal, after Mitchell Trubisky moved them cleanly into position.
He’s 6-of-6 for 42 yards so far.It was unremarkable scoring drive
Riley Ridley Chicago Bears Jerseys , except Parkey missed four kicks last week (two field goals, two extra points), and became the object of fascination in Chicago
last week.Naturally, he followed up by belting the ensuing kickoff out of bounds
and giving it to the Vikings at the 40-yard line, but the fans love him anyway.
For now.
