The Bears will have to wait another week for Khalil Herbert’s return.

He was not one of the two players they activated from injured reserve Thursday afternoon. Instead, the team put cornerback Josh Blackwell and receiver Equanimeous St. Brown, who had been on IR with hamstring injuries, back on the 53-man roster.

Herbert hurt his ankle trying to catch a Justin Fields pass against the Commanders last month and landed on injured reserve. He missed four games, the minimum required for an IR stint, and returned to practice this week.
