Such is the life of the short week in the NFL. When the Bears play the Lions on Thanksgiving tomorrow afternoon Pat O'Donnell Jersey , they’ll likely be without Mitchell Trubisky according to both NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, and the Bears themselves.A shoulder bruise ended up being the final cause and if the Bears were playing on Sunday, reports state that Trubisky likely would’ve played. Alas, the holiday and terrific NFL scheduling that shows the league clearly cares about player health and safety took over for the Bears. What an exemplary league. It’s now, if only temporarily, Chase Daniel time. In his 9.5-year career, Daniel has only started two games: both with the Chiefs in 2013 and 2014. He completed 21-of-30 passes for 200 yards and a touchdown against the Chargers in 2013, and 16-of-27 passes for 157 yards against the Chargers in 2014. Game manager numbers if I’ve ever seen them. Daniel will be counted on to likely do the same to keep the Bears afloat in Detroit. The NFL’s second-highest paid backup was brought on not only for his mentorship, but specific situations like this. We’ll see what head coach Matt Nagy and Daniel have in store as the face of the franchise rests an ailing arm in Trubisky. In other injury report news https://www.thebearsfanshop.com/Kyle-Long-Jersey , Adam Shaheen and Aaron Lynch were ruled out for the Bears’ Thanksgiving game as both are dealing with concussions. Shaheen suffered his on a successful two-point conversion late against the Vikings, while Lynch missed a significant portion of the matchup overall. A big loss for the Bears in the depth pass rushing department and at tight end, respectively. At least both get two weeks before they have to play another game. The Bears head into Detroit a little shorthanded, but certainly still capable of padding their divisional lead and working towards an NFC North division title. It’s just going to be more of a grind now on Turkey Day. Here’s the injury report for the Lions, with the most notable being wide out Marvin Jones Jr. and running back Kerryon Johnson both listed as out.

(AP) — Defensive end Akiem Hicks takes pride in being a leader for the Chicago Bears‘ defense.So an ejection against Tampa Bay on Sept. 30 for making contact with an NFL official during an altercation caused Hicks to reflect, and avoiding suspension left him feeling fortunate.Hicks was fined $33 Tom Waddle Color Rush Jersey ,425, and will be available to play Sunday for the Bears (3-1) against the Miami Dolphins (3-2).“This was the first time I’ve been ejected from a game in my entire life, so for me it was very humbling,” Hicks said. “The next time I’m in that situation it will give me a chance to react better.“It’s also a lesson to the guys on the team that you don’t put your personal situation above the team’s situation.”Hicks pushed down judge Mike Carr. The official was attempting to break up a dispute between Bucs guard Ali Marpet and Hicks after Bears safety Eddie Jackson intercepted a pass.Following the ejection, Hicks went to the sideline and threw his jersey and shoulder pads into the stands and went to an empty locker room.“There’s no feeling like going into the locker room at halftime, or just before halftime, by yourself,” Hicks said. “You sit in the locker room, it’s just not something you’re accustomed to.“So it was definitely a relief to not be suspended Sam Acho Jersey , but also it was a time for reflection for myself.”Hicks said his message to teammates after the incident was a simple one: “I wanted them to know how I felt about the situation and how wrong my response was to the situation.”Hicks hadn’t talked about the incident with media since the ejection occurred.“I know there are a lot of young guys that look up to me on this team, and it’s hypocritical of me to go out there and do things like that and come back to the locker room and think that everything’s gravy,” Hicks said. “It doesn’t work that way.”Chicago’s defense ranks second in the NFL this season, and is first against the run. Hicks is a major force in the run defense, and last year also led the team in sacks with 8 ½.“You’re talking about one of the leaders on this defense,” Bears linebacker Khalil Mack said. “Just knowing that he’s going to be out there is going to boost morale for sure.”Bears coach Matt Nagy was satisfied Hicks had learned a lesson.“He knew he made a mistake, and that’s not who he is,” Nagy said. “I think his track record shows that.”
