Darnell Wright, D'Andre Swift land on Bears' Wednesday injury report
The Bears released their first injury report ahead of their Week 2 game against the Vikings, where RT Darnell Wright was listed with a knee injury.
The Chicago Bears are preparing for their Week 2 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings, aiming to capitalize on their strong offensive performance from last week and improve their defensive efforts. Following a brief injury report last week, expectations were raised as several players were sidelined during Wednesday's practice. Among the most significant absences was right tackle Darnell Wright, who was listed as a non-participant due to a knee injury.
