Back at practice Bush (foot) participated at Wednesday's practice, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Impact After missing Sunday's loss to the Packers, Bush was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. It's unclear whether the backup safety will get up to speed to join the active squad for Sunday's wild-card matchup against the Saints.

Won't play Week 17 Bush (foot) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Packers.

Impact Bush's foot injury held him out Week 15 for a matchup against Minnesota, but he was able to return last Sunday during a winning effort in Jacksonville. The backup safety was able to provide limited participation during Friday's session after sitting out the preceding two practices, but his condition in pregame warmups seemingly was not favorable enough to roll him out in Week 17.

Back for Week 16 Bush (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Impact The 27-year-old was sidelined for last week's matchup with the Vikings due to the foot injury, but he'll be back on the field this weekend. Cornerbacks Jaylon Johnson (shoulder) and Buster Skrine (concussion) are unavailable, so Bush could have an increased role in the secondary Sunday.

Won't play Sunday Bush (foot) won't suit up in Sunday's divisional game against Minnesota.

Impact The Bears' secondary will be missing some key pieces in the contest, as along with Bush, Jaylon Johnson (shoulder) and Buster Skrine (concussion) have also been ruled out. With Bush sidelined, back up strong safety duties will shift to Deandre Houston-Carson behind starter Tashaun Gipson.

Back with team Thursday The Bears activated Bush from the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, Larry Mayer of the team's official site reports.

Impact Bush came into close contact with someone who had tested positive for the virus, but he appears to have satisfied requirements for clearance. Bush has appeared in six games this season, recording four tackles and an interception, so expect him to return to his usual depth safety role for Monday's game against the Vikings.

Lands on COVID-19 list Bush was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday, Adam Hoge of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

Impact The 27-year-old apparently hasn't tested positive for the virus, but he was in close contact with an infected individual away from the team. Bush will at least be sidelined for Sunday's game at Tennessee while he works through the COVID-19 protocols.

Rams TE Higbee out vs Bears; Khalil Mack active for Chicago

Rams tight end Tyler Higbee is inactive for Los Angeles’ game against the Chicago Bears on Monday night

OCTOBER 26, 2020 • ASSOCIATED PRESS

Back in action Monday Bush (hamstring) is active for Monday's game versus the Rams.

Impact Bush missed the last two games but is back in the fold after practicing fully Saturday. The fifth-year safety out of Miami (Fla.) typically only plays on defense in clear passing situations, and with starting safeties Tashaun Gipson and Eddie Jackson healthy, Bush likely will remain in a reserve role Monday.

Will miss second straight game Bush (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Panthers.

Impact Bush served in a situational role through the first four games before suffering this injury, and now he'll sit out a second straight game. Deandre Houston-Carson enjoyed a bump in usage with Bush out of the lineup last week, but if Sherrick McManis (hamstring) can shake off his injury, he'll be the main beneficiary of Bush's absence.
