LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Chicago Bears outside linebacker Willie Young missed practice on Friday because of a triceps injury, raising concerns about his status for Monday night’s game against Minnesota.

Young -- tied for the team lead in sacks (2.0) -- was listed as limited on Thursday’s injury report.

“We’re not sure where he’s [Young] at right now with his injury,” Bears defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said. “We still have guys -- we have Pernell McPhee, Sam Acho and Leonard Floyd at outside linebacker. There are other guys we can use on the outside in nickel if need be.
