There wasn’t much concern about Bears wide receiver Keenan Allen actually missing the season opener, and whatever doubt existed was essentially eliminated Friday when he was a full participant in practice.
Allen stepped out of practice Aug. 24 because of an issue with his cleats, which caused what the team later would call a heel injury. He was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday, though there’s a good chance the team simply was being careful not to overwork a player entering his 12th season.
Coach Matt Eberflus downplayed it has a non-issue and indicated Allen will play.
