Jordan Howard suffers possible Achilles injury
Head coach John Fox said that Howard sustained an ankle or Achilles injury during Sunday's loss at Tampa Bay.
On a day in which Howard galloped 15 times for 100 yards, only two of those carries occurred in the second half. His day was further marred by a lost fumble, after which the Bucs required just four plays to record their second touchdown of the game. During post-game media availability, he confirmed Fox's comments, stating his foot tightened up as the contest continued. While upcoming tests will confirm the nature of the injury, the Bears may have to turn to Jeremy Langford and Ka'Deem Carey to power the backfield.
