Extra points: Defensive lineman Akiem Hicks missed practice for the second consecutive day and is listed on the injury report with an illness and knee issue. It’s not believed to be COVID-19 related as league rules would have forced the Bears to add him to the reserve list. Strong safety Tashaun Gipson (hamstring) also was held out. … The Detroit Lions signed linebacker Josh Woods to their 53-man roster, plucking him off the Bears’ practice squad. He was replaced by Rashad Smith, an undrafted free agent from Florida Atlantic who was with the Bears in training camp last summer. … The Bears brought in punter Ryan Anderson for a tryout. That likely is because he’s left-footed and they want to prepare punt returner Nsimba Webster to face the Browns’ Jamie Gillan, who is left-footed. Anderson came in for a tryout before the season opener as well. … The Browns have not beaten an NFC North team since a victory over the Minnesota Vikings on Sept. 22, 2013.
