DETROIT — The Bears are sizable underdogs on Thanksgiving against the Lions, but at least they’ll have virtually everyone available.
The only players ruled out due to injury were safety Elijah Hicks and offensive guard Ryan Bates. Hicks was starting in place of Jaquan Brisker, who is on injured reserve with a concussion.
Brisker has played just five games and isn’t eligible to return until the Week 15 game at the Vikings.
The Bears didn’t practice this week, opting instead for walk-throughs during a short turnaround after hosting the Vikings on Sunday.
