CORDARRELLE PATTERSON NEWS

Upgraded to full participant Patterson (calf) logged a full practice session Thursday.

Impact Patterson popped up on the injury report Wednesday, logging a limited session, but he's already back to full speed with a Week 12 matchup against Green Bay approaching. David Montgomery (concussion) notching full practices in consecutive days may lead to mitigated rushing involvement for Patterson, after the veteran collected a season-high 12 rushing attempts Week 10 against Minnesota. Patterson does maintain a receiving role, however, with multiple receptions in four consecutive games.

Mitchell Trubisky practices but Bears delay QB decision

Limited at Wednesday practice Patterson (calf) logged a limited practice session Wednesday.

Impact The origin of the calf issue is unclear, but the fact Patterson was able to practice -- albeit in limited fashion -- bodes well for his availability Sunday. However, with David Montgomery (concussion) expected to return to action, Patterson's temporary role as the team's starting RB has likely come to an end.

Cousins, Vikings overcome Patterson return, beat Bears 19-13

Kirk Cousins threw for 292 yards and two touchdowns, and the Minnesota Vikings overcame a 104-yard kickoff return by Chicago’s Cordarrelle Patterson to beat the Bears 19-13

Scores on kick return Patterson returned a kickoff for a touchdown while rushing 11 times for 28 yards in the Bears' 19-13 loss to the Vikings on Monday.

Impact Although he easily led the Bears in rushing attempts, Patterson placed his stamp on this game by taking the opening kickoff of the second half to the house. His eight career touchdowns on kickoff returns tie him for the most ever with Josh Cribbs and Leon Washington. However, aside from leagues that provide scoring for return yardage, he remains a low-floor weekly fantasy option. With the Bears on bye in Week 11, he'll likely go back to seeing a few touches per game if David Montgomery returns from his concussion.

More work in store? Patterson could be in line for more opportunities after David Montgomery (concussion) was ruled out ahead of Monday's game.

Impact Patterson is technically listed as the No. 2 option behind Montgomery, but it's fair to question if the Bears would expect the nimble specialist to operate in a similar capacity. The 29-year-old did carry the ball 21 times over a two-week stretch with the Patriots back in 2018, but he's otherwise seen more than six carries one either time in his career -- Week 2 against the Giants following Tarik Cohen's season-ending knee injury. While Patterson will likely play the most snaps of any Bears running back, expect to see a combination of Ryan Nall, Artavis Pierce and even practice-squad call up, Lamar Miller, also take a handful of carries in a clear committee approach.

40 scrimmage yards in loss Patterson caught four passes for 27 yards and rushed three times for 13 yards in the Bears' 24-17 loss to the Titans on Sunday.

Impact With David Montgomery leaving the game early with a head injury, Patterson saw his highest number of touches since Week 2. Though he's yet to post more than 45 yards in any game this season, in leagues in which he has running back eligibility, he could be worth adding to fantasy rosters if Montgomery is forced to miss time, based on potential volume.

Wims' punch part of another tough third quarter for Bears

Javon Wims was ejected during another ugly third quarter for the Chicago Bears during their 26-23 overtime loss against the New Orleans Saints

NOVEMBER 2, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Receives three touches Patterson rushed once for four yards and caught two passes for one additional yard in the Bears' 26-23 overtime loss to the Saints on Sunday.

Impact Patterson has failed to surpass 13 rushing and receiving yards in five of his last six games. Aside from leagues that award points for return yardage, his current fantasy value is minimal.

Active in Week 8 Patterson (quadriceps) is active for Sunday's Week 8 tilt against the Saints.

Impact Patterson only turned in a sole limited practice this week, but reports earlier in the day had indicated he was trending up for this contest. This news now makes it official the versatile wideout/returner/occasional running back will be available to take on a Saints defense that has been one of the league's toughest against the run but susceptible to big plays through the air thus far this season.

Should play Week 8 Patterson (quadriceps), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Coming off the Bears' Monday night loss to the Rams, Patterson only managed one limited practice this week while contending with the quad issue. The maintenance he received looks like it will be enough for Patterson to get the green light for Week 8, but the versatile wideout seems likelier to see his role within the Chicago offense shrink rather than expand after a poor showing versus Los Angeles. He turned four targets into three catches for just 11 yards and carried three times for one yard in the loss.
