Chicago Bears player notes for Oct 30th, 2018


*Leonard Floyd – Noteworthy
LB Linebacker Leonard Floyd continued his sack drought. It stands at seven games without one.
“My view of where he’s at right now is he’s flying around everywhere,” Nagy said. “He is. Now, numbers-wise, production-wise, he doesn’t have the sack or the sacks that everybody wants from a first-round pick. Trust me, he wants it, too. But what I want to focus on with him is just sometimes naturally you can start pressing and you try to do things and you probably overdo things”

Allen Robinson – Important – Injury

Ben Braunecker – Noteworthy – Injury
TE Ben Braunecker is in the NFL concussion protocol after an injury suffered in Sunday’s game. Braunecker’s contribution has largely been on special teams.

Khalil Mack – Important – Injury
