BUSTER SKRINE NEWS

Solid tackle total in 2020 Skrine missed the last three games of the regular season with a concussion, ending the year with 66 tackles and a forced fumble.

Impact Skrine has not been a great cover corner during his career, but, since opposing offenses tend to pick on him, he often posts high tackle totals, making him a solid weekly IDP option, and he should continue to be reliable in 2021.

Ruled out for regular-season finale Skrine (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Packers, Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Skrine's absence should allow for Kindle Vildor and Duke Shelley to gain experience across from starter Kyle Fuller, as Jaylon Johnson (shoulder) also remains sidelined.

Won't return Week 16 Skrine (concussion) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site reports.

Impact Skrine did not return to practice this week and will miss a third straight game as he works his way through the league's concussion protocol. With Jaylon Johnson (shoulder) also sidelined, Chicago will again be short-handed at cornerback.

Out against Vikings Skrine (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Vikings.

Impact Skrine didn't practice all week and will miss a second consecutive game. The Bears could be without two of their top three cornerbacks if Jaylon Johnson -- who didn't practice all week and is considered questionable with a shoulder injury -- is also ruled out. Skrine will aim to progress through the league's concussion protocol before the Week 16 matchup against the Jaguars.

Missing more time Skrine (concussion) was a non-participant during Wednesday's walk-through practice, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Impact Skrine missed last week's game against the Texans due to the concussion, and as evidenced by this news, he appears to still be residing in the league's concussion protocol. Skrine will likely need to continue to practice if he wants return to action in Week 15, so his practice availability throughout the week will paint a better picture of his chances to suit up. Kindle Vildor and Duke Shelley would be in line to see an uptick in snaps at cornerback should Skrine miss more time.

Not available Week 14 Skrine (concussion) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Impact Skrine remains in the league's five-step concussion protocol, and he won't be eligible to retake the field until he's gained full clearance. The veteran cornerback didn't practice in any capacity this week, so his status for Chicago's Nov. 20 game against the Vikings is also uncertain.

Missing practice time Skrine was a non-participant at Thursday's practice due to a concussion, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Impact Skrine missed the past two days of practice, as he appears to be residing in the league's concussion protocol. He'll likely need to log some practice time Friday and clear the protocol in order to play in Sunday's game against the Texans. If Skrine is forced to miss Week 14, Kindle Vildor and Duke Shelley would be in line to see an uptick in snaps at cornerback.

Best performance of season Skrine tallied 13 stops in Chicago's 41-25 loss to the Packers on Sunday.

Impact Skrine had failed to exceed seven tackles in any game this season, but Aaron Rodgers made it a point to pick on him in the passing attack, which led to a solid fantasy performance. He's recorded at least five tackles in five of his last six games, giving him an excellent floor for a defensive back in IDP leagues.

Good to go Sunday Skrine (ankle) is active for Sunday night's game in Green Bay.

Impact Skrine popped up on Chicago's injury report as a limited participant in Friday's practice, but he's managed to get the green light in time for Sunday's divisional contest. The veteran cornerback played a season-low 47 percent of defensive snaps Week 10 against the Vikings, the last time we saw him on the field.
