The Bears aren’t playing for much heading into the last week of the season, but injuries to key players might allow the team to get a look at different players heading into the season finale.
For one, Akiem Hicks was held out of practice on Wednesday and Thursday after not playing last week against the Chiefs. Nothing official has been said about his status, but it would be a surprise to see Hicks play against the Minnesota Vikings.
Taylor Gabriel (concussion), Eddie Goldman (concussion) and Bobby Massie (ankle) have also been held out of practice twice this week.
