Friday’s NFL injuries and week 13 roster news

Chicago has another chance to end their losing streak on Sunday, but may have to do so without a key part of their offense.

Wide receiver Allen Robinson (knee) is questionable for the Bears’ Week 13 reunion with the Detroit Lions, according to the team’s official injury report. The list was a surprise, as Robinson had only appeared on the injury report on Friday.

In an extremely limited offense from the Bears, Robinson always found a way to put together another solid season, catching 71 passes for 829 yards and five scores while also functioning as Chicago’s No.1 receiver and catching passes from two. different quarters. When it comes to playing into a contract year, Robinson is doing himself a lot of favor as free will approaches.

The rest of the Chicago attack hasn’t held its end, however, and if he has to play without him, we can look forward to another wrestling-filled afternoon for the Bears when they own the ball.

Quarterback Nick Foles (hip) and defensive tackle Akiem Hicks (hamstrings / Achilles) are also questionable.
