Bears running back Khalil Herbert will return Sunday against the Lions after missing five games with an ankle injury.
Herbert practiced in full for the third consecutive day and will be activated from injured reserve before the game, coach Matt Eberflus said.
Herbert was the Bears’ leading rusher with 272 yards on 51 carries (5.3 average) when he injured his ankle awkwardly trying catch a pass from Justin Fields in a 40-20 victory over the Commanders at FedEx Field.
