The Chicago Bears on Wednesday released their first injury report for the 2021 season, which featured some prominent starters who didn’t practice or were limited.
The biggest concern was Eddie Goldman, who was left out of practice on Wednesday with what was classified as a knee / ankle injury, prompting many to question his availability for Sunday night.
Nagy explained that Goldman adjusted his knee during training on Monday and does not know if Goldman will practice on Thursday. Nagy called Goldman “day to day,” which is certainly more encouraging than some speculated.
If Goldman can’t go on Sunday night, it would be seventh-round rookie Khyiris Tonga, who has impressed throughout the preseason.

The Bears also had three notable starters who were limited during Wednesday’s training sessions, including great receiver Darnell Mooney (back) and outside defenders Khalil Mack (groin) and Robert Quinn (back).
Nagy said he feels good with the three boys playing at the opening on Sunday night.
Matt Nagy says he feels pretty good about the availability of Mack, Quinn and Mooney for Sunday against the #Bretons. #Bears
