Out of nowhere, the Chicago Bears delivered some bad news regarding their Week 17 showdown against the San Francisco 49ers.
The Bears announced multiple moves, activating rookie offensive lineman Luke Newman from the IR. He will be able to play. They also announced the waiving of defensive lineman Jonathan Ford and have elevated defensive back Dallis Flowers and wide receiver JP Richardson from the practice squad.
Chicago's most notable move, though, was that they added starting right tackle Darnell Wright to the injury report with an illness. Wright did not travel with the team and is now considered questionable for the game.
