The Chicago Bears have released their final injury report leading up to Sunday's Week 14 matchup against the Detroit Lions and have officially ruled out just one player.
Wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown will miss his eighth game of the season after being placed on the injury report on Thursday with a pectoral injury. St. Brown got injured while blocking in practice and will be considered week-to-week.
Three other players will be listed as questionable going into the weekend, including two other wide receivers, Tyler Scott and Velus Jones Jr.
Here's the official injury report for Week 14 the team released following Friday's practice:
Yannick Ngakoue (knee), Tyler Scott (hamstring) and Velus Jones Jr. (illness) are all listed as questionable going into the weekend. Ngakoue caused some concern after being limited at practice on Thursday with a knee injury but returned as a full participant on Friday. Scott was added to the report following Friday's practice after being a limited participant.
Scott was pulled out of practice with hamstring tightness on Friday and the extent of the injury will be evaluated going into the weekend. Jones is dealing with an illness and the severity of it it currently unknown. Bears head coach Matt Eberflus mentioned that the team will have their backup plans ready to go at the position if Scott and Jones are unable to suit up on Sunday.
If that's the case, expect to see Trent Taylor get some playing time on the Bears' offense. The team will also have Collin Johnson and Nsimba Webster that they could potentially elevate from the practice squad.
D'Onta Foreman and Tyrique Stevenson are expected to return for the Bears on Sunday after they each missed the Week 12 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Both players should be expected to handle a shared workload at their respective positions against the Lions on Sunday.
Rookie special teamer Noah Sewell is also expected to return for the Bears after missing the last two games with a knee injury.
