The Bears continued to practice without two of their best players: wide receiver Allen Robinson and defensive lineman Akiem Hicks.

Robinson missed his second consecutive day with an ankle injury, and Hicks has been out of three practices since hurting his quadriceps muscle. Coach Matt Nagy brushed off both issues as minor.

“There’s no concern,” he said. “It’s just more so, ‘Is it worth it right now to put them out there with where they’re at?’ I just don’t think it is.”

Robinson was the Bears’ leading receiver the last two seasons; Hicks is arguably their best defensive player after Khalil Mack.

The Bears also lost veteran offensive tackle Jason Spriggs to a knee injury Saturday. Nagy had no update other than that Spriggs was unable to practice Sunday.
