Bears coach Matt Eberflus said he expects safety Jaquan Brisker to play in the season opener against the Packers on Sunday at Soldier Field. Brisker missed four weeks of training camp and did not play in the preseason because of an undisclosed injury. He returned to practice last week.
Eberflus said Brisker’s play in a padded practice Wednesday would go a long way toward determining his status for Sunday. But he’s been encouraged since Brisker returned last week.
