Four Bears starters did not practice today, putting their Monday Night Football availability in question, while a team leader on defense is starting to heal up.
For the Chicago Bears, the following players did not practice today: RB Matt Forte (knee), WR Eddie Royal (knee), OLB Pernell McPhee (knee) and C Hroniss Grasu (neck).
The Bears will conduct one more practice tomorrow before heading to San Diego to face the Chargers on Monday Night Football, so the availability for all four starters will be made clearer on Saturday. That said, Forte, Royala and Grasu are not expected to play, while McPhee is expected to suit up.
