Markus Wheaton still building confidence in surgically repaired finger

LAKE FOREST, Ill. – The Chicago Bears listed seven players as questionable for Sunday’s game at Tampa, including wide receiver Markus Wheaton (finger), left guard Kyle Long (ankle), outside linebacker Leonard Floyd (back) and running back Jordan Howard (shoulder).

Chicago is perilously thin at receiver after losing Cameron Meredith and Kevin White to season-ending injuries, but Wheaton’s practice regimen has been limited.

Wheaton said that he’d feel better with a week of full practices under his belt before the Bears activate him for a regular season game.
