Bears ‘fortunate’ on Anthony Miller injury

BOURBONNAIS — Wide receiver Anthony Miller missed Sunday’s practice with a sprained ankle he suffered leaping to make a catch in a one-on-one passing drill against cornerback Kyle Fuller. As cautious as the Bears have been with injuries, Miller could sit for awhile. But coach Matt Nagy said he did not think the Sept. 5 season-opener against the Packers was in jeopardy.

“I don’t think so,” Nagy said. “I feel pretty good about what happened and when you look at it … we got pretty fortunate.”

Linebacker Aaron Lynch (shoulder) and cornerback Kevin Tolliver (undisclosed) did not practice.
