Bears notebook: Robert Quinn takes first step back

Outside linebacker Robert Quinn took the first step toward making his Bears debut when he practiced on a limited basis Wednesday.

Quinn missed the season opener against the Lions with an ankle injury. He was limited or inactive in team drills for much of training camp as part of a “ramp-up” after dealing with a personal issue. Now it’s just a matter of being healthy.

“[He’s] a really good football player that we can’t wait to get back,” outside linebackers coach Ted Monachino said. “I don’t believe conditioning will be an issue.”

With Quinn out, the Bears’ pass rush was generally ineffective against the Lions.
