Bears cornerback Prince Amukamara is one of those players people tend to forget about — unless he’s gone.
Amukamara was out Thursday night against the Cowboys, missing just his fourth game out of 42 since joining the Bears in 2017, and they went with seldom-used second-year corner Kevin Toliver in his place.
Toliver has been almost exclusively a special teamer this season and had played three defensive snaps before Thursday. He got the start opposite all-pro Kyle Fuller.
The Bears are top-heavy at cornerback with Fuller and Amukamara, plus Buster Skrine in the slot, but don’t have much behind them.
