LAKE FOREST, Ill. – The Chicago Bears will get a much-needed day off on Monday after approximately 20 players sat out a fully padded practice at Halas Hall. Among the guys missing in action on Sunday: first-round pick Leonard Floyd. “He had a slight hamstring [injury],” coach John Fox said. “It’s more precautionary. They've got tomorrow off and we form back up and get a little bit more of an in-season schedule, so we'll see how he is coming off the off day.” Meantime, running back Jeremy Langford is still nursing a sore foot, but he attended practice without the walking boot he wore on his left leg Saturday night. Pro Bowl guard Kyle Long remains sidelined with a shoulder problem. Fox added that he excused rookie third-round pick Jonathan Bullard for personal reasons, and that inside linebacker Jerrell Freeman and cornerback Tracy Porter were given veteran days off. Other notable players to skip Sunday’s session: linebacker Danny Trevathan (hamstring), tight end Tony Moeaki (hamstring) and cornerback Kyle Fuller (knee scope). The Bears return to the field on Tuesday in advance of next week’s home preseason game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
