BOURBONNAIS — The Bears are down to two healthy draftees.
Rookie running back Kerrith Whyte missed his first practice Thursday with what coach Matt Nagy dubbed two different injuries: a hamstring problem and a foot sprain.
“It might be just a little bit of time,” he said.
Cornerback Stephen Denmark, a fellow seventh-round pick, remained out with an ankle problem that figures to stretch into next week, at least.
“He’s not too close, but it’s nothing that I’m real concerned about,” Nagy said.
The two join receiver Riley Ridley, a fourth-rounder who’s been out since hurting his hamstring during the Bears’ first training camp practice July 26.
