The Bears’ wide receiver problems continued to mount Tuesday whenDavid Mooreleft practice on a cart after suffering an apparent right leg injury during one-on-one drills.
That leaves the team with just eight healthy receivers, meaning it’s time to consider bringing in a free agent.
“You lose men on a 90-man roster, and it makes it difficult for the other guys,” coachMatt Eberflussaid. “We’ve got to just keep on working through it.”
Of the eight healthy receivers, onlyDarnell MooneyandEquanimeous St. Brownare considered locks to make the final roster. That’s not ideal for quarterbackJustin Fieldsas he prepares for a crucial season in which he needs to show the Bears he’s their answer.
