KHALIL MACK NEWS

Limited again Thursday Mack (knee) was limited for the Bears' practice session Thursday.

Impact The three-time All-Pro may face a first-time starter if he is able to suit up Week 3 against the Falcons, as Matt Gono is expected to fill in at right tackle for the injured Kaleb McGary (knee-MCL). Though Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan has expressed confidence in the 24-year-old, Gono has only twice played 50-plus percent of the offensive snaps in an NFL game. Atlanta's offense has allowed just three sacks through two games, but the uber-talented Mack has potential to tee off Week 3 if he can go.

Begins week with limited practice Mack was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury.

Impact Mack appears to have picked up a knee injury during Sunday's win over the Giants, in which he notched his first sack of the year. As long as the star pass rusher is able to practice in full Thursday or Friday, any worries about his Week 3 availability will be put to rest.

Notches first sack of season Mack recorded a sack, a fumble recovery and three tackles in the Bears' 17-13 win over the Giants on Sunday.

Impact After posting four tackles in the opener, Mack was able to pick up his first sack of the season to bolster his fantasy performance. As he comes off a disappointing 2019 campaign in which he recorded just 8.5 sacks and 47 tackles, he'll need to ramp things up quickly if he's going to return to the dominant IDP force that he was from 2015-2018.

Suiting up in Week 2 Mack (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Impact Mack has been slowed by the knee injury for a couple weeks, but it did not prevent him from taking the field in Week 1 and will not keep him off the field this week, either. Mack was a bit quiet in last week's season opener, but he has a chance to make some noise in Week 2 against a Giants offensive line that had trouble containing the Steelers' pass rush on Monday night.

Status in question for Sunday Mack (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Giants.

Impact Mack has been a limited participant in practice all week, but considering he followed a similar path leading up to the season opener, there shouldn't be much concern about his status Sunday. The touted DE played 86 percent of the defensive snaps in Week 1 despite the injury, recording four tackles (two solo).

Managing knee injury Mack (knee) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice.

Impact Mack came into the season opener dealing with the knee injury in practice and still suited up, so this could be a trend going forward. The veteran posted a quieter Week 1 than he's used to, supplying just four tackles in Sunday's win over Detroit. At this point in the week, barring an injury setback, expect Mack on the field for Week 2 against the Giants.

Lackluster in opener Mack posted four tackles in the Bears 27-23 win over the Lions on Sunday.

Impact With the Lions playing with a lead for the majority of this contest, there weren't many obvious passing situations for Mack to take advantage of. Unfortunately, the four tackles he recorded was roughly the average number of stops he recorded in each of his first two years with the Bears. Unless he returns to his prior form as a dominant pass rusher, his IDP value may not align with his reputation as a real-life defender.

Cleared for season opener Mack (knee) is active for Sunday's game in Detroit.

Impact Mack was deemed questionable heading into the week after the knee issue limited his participation in practices Wednesday through Friday, but he showed enough in pregame warmups to gain clearance for the season opener. After a brilliant debut season with Chicago in 2018, Mack's production took a step back along with many of his teammates in the Bears' 8-8 season in 2019, as he finished with his fewest sacks (8.5) since his rookie campaign.

Officially questionable for Week 1 Mack (knee) was limited in Friday's practice and is questionable for Sunday's divisional tilt against Detroit.

Impact Mack appeared to be a full participant in training camp, but a knee injury limited him during all three of this week's practice sessions. Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune notes that the Bears would likely list Mack as probable if the team had that option, so it doesn't look as though there's any serious internal concern about his availability against the Lions on Sunday.

Dealing with injury Mack (knee) was listed as a limited participant for Wednesday's practice.

Impact It's unclear how Mack suffered the injury as he wasn't limited during training camp, so the team could just be giving him some rest ahead of Week 1. The 29-year-old is coming off a quieter season than usual, supplying 47 tackles (40 solo) and 8.5 sacks in 2019. If he's forced to sit, look for Trevis Gipson to elevate to the starting lineup.
