Bears receiver Darnell Mooney warms up Sunday.

Bears receiver Darnell Mooney, who had a tipped Hail Mary pass fall into his lap — and then onto the turf — as he fell to the ground Sunday, did not practice Wednesday.

The team said Mooney was dealing with an illness.

Mooney has struggled to connect with quarterback Justin Fields — and vice versa — this season. He’s caught 29-of-57 targets — just barely more than half — for 409 yards this season. He has one touchdown catch this year; receiver DJ Moore and tight end Cole Kmet have combined for 13.
