Chicago Bears’ right guard Kyle Long was not among the players practicing on Tuesday when the team returned to practice at Halas Hall after having Monday off.
Long has now missed the Bears’ last three practices and a report from the Chicago Tribune on Tuesday night suggested Long may miss the team’s regular season opener against the Houston Texans. The report cites sources that indicate that Long is dealing with a labrum issue. While speaking with reporters on Tuesday, Bears’ head coach John Fox did not provide any details into the severity of Long’s injury.
“It doesn’t really matter what I think,” Fox said. “There are medical people involved and when he’s cleared, he’ll play.”
For what it’s worth, Fox said that a lot last summer when it came to Kevin White. White did not play a single snap for the Bears during the 2015 season.
Now, let’s not get ahead of ourselves. No one is suggesting that Long will miss the entire 2016 season. But, there does appear to be a chance that Long could miss the Bears’ 2016 regular season opener. One source in the Chicago Tribune report on Tuesday night was described as “not optimistic” in reference to Long’s injury.
