The New Orleans Saints and Chicago Bears published their first Week 8 injury report, with Chicago star receiver Allen Robinson sidelined in the NFL concussion protocol. The Bears are playing on a short week after Monday night’s 24-10 loss to the Los Angeles Rams.
Meanwhile, for New Orleans: Robinson’s counterpart Michael Thomas did not participate in practice. Thomas was out of action last week after tweaking his hamstring, which was reported to be a Grade 1 strain. While the mildest grade, it still carries a two- to three-week recovery timeline, so his status is in doubt for Sunday.
