The longest tenured player on the team’s roster has missed the last three games with a hamstring injury he suffered Oct. 15 in an overtime win over the Ravens.
“It’s exciting to be back out there with the team and help them out,” McManis said Thursday after practicing without restrictions for the first time since the injury. “I’m excited to get back out there. [The injury] is unfortunate, but things happen in football. It’s something I couldn’t prevent. But I’m feeling better and I’m going to be out there Sunday.”
The Bears are hoping that McManis picks up where he left off earlier in the season.
