Bears breakout star has one last shot vs. Steelers to prove he's a starter

After all the adversity the Chicago Bears have faced with injuries to the secondary, they have solace in their backup cornerback, Nahshon Wright, stepping up massively.

The Bears lost three of their top four cornerbacks to injuries during training camp and the regular season for either the year or for an extended period of time. Those injured included Jaylon Johnson, Kyler Gordon, and Terell Smith.

News came in before the Bears' Week 12 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers that Johnson and Gordon will stay on IR, but the team hopes to have them for their Week 13 Black Friday game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
