Tyrique Stevenson's return means decision for Bears at cornerback
- Stevenson returned to practice and could be in line to start outside, giving the Bears more options in the secondary.
- Johnson’s return and workload remain a concern as his core muscle surgery recovery influences rotation decisions.
- Odunze is questionable after a limited practice, potentially impacting the receiving corps against Cleveland.
- If Odunze sits, Zaccheaus and Burden would again be relied on by the Bears against Cleveland.
- Kyler Gordon is out with a groin injury, narrowing the Bears’ secondary options for the Browns game.
- Teven Jenkins could start against his old team as Wyatt Teller and Jack Conklin are absent for Cleveland.
- Bears’ defensive rotation may include a three-way look at cornerback between Stevenson, Wright, and Johnson.
- Stevenson’s return may help stem big-play susceptibility in the Bears’ pass defense.
- Bears placed emphasis on managing Johnson’s workload while he recovers from surgery.
- The Bears’ injury report also notes small moves in the return-to-play status of players other than Stevenson.
