Tony Crumpton - Senior Editor - Tuesday, August 22 2023

This is not good news for the Bears offense.

Chicago Bears rookie tackle Darnell Wright limped off during practice on Tuesday with a lower-body injury. It appeared to be an ankle or foot injury but no official word yet.

He didn't finish practice and stayed on the sideline.

Bears head coach Matt Eberflus didn't comment on his injury status as he didn't have any information at the time of his press conference.

According to reports, Wright is getting an MRI on his ankle tonight.

Update: "He's doing great," offensive line coach Chris Morgan said about Wright. "We'll see how everything goes, where everything's at. One day at a time."

Hopefully, the Bears can get most of their team healthy as they kick off the regular season against the rival Green Bay Packers in just 19 days.
