Getting healthy at right time, Chicago Bears practice with all projected starters on offense
LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- The Chicago Bears' offense saw the return of center Lucas Patrick and wide receivers Byron Pringle and Velus Jones Jr. during Monday's practice. For the first time since late July, Chicago's entire group of projected offensive starters practiced together.
Patrick has not practiced since he broke his right thumb on July 28 and underwent surgery. Pringle sustained a quad injury in early August and missed the entire preseason while Jones missed significant time with undisclosed injuries throughout training camp. In his lone preseason action against Seattle, the rookie third-rounder showed off his speed on a 48-yard punt return and caught one pass for 4 yards.
