With 13 days separating the Bears from their season-opening Sunday Night Football date with the Green Bay Packers, coach Matt Nagy offered a handful of updates on a few guys whose status for Week 1 is in question. A rundown:
1. The Bears and Adam Shaheen (foot/ankle) are still sorting through the severity of his injury, though Nagy, when asked if the second-year tight end could wind up on injured reserve, said: “No, I don’t think so.” That we don’t know the extent of Shaheen’s injury and the recovery timetable for it yet doesn’t seem to bode well for his availability early in the season, but him not having to go on injured reserve could be at least somewhat of a positive.
