David Moore becomes the latest Chicago Bears wide receiver to be sidelined with an injury

Chicago Bears coach Matt Eberflus looked at a reporter after Tuesday’s Family Fest practice at Soldier Field and asked his own question.

“Have you played receiver?” he asked, putting on his recruiting hat from his days as a college coach.

No, the Bears haven’t reached that point yet, but their depth continues to be depleted after yet another wide receiver was injured during practice.

David Moore suffered an apparent right leg injury during one-on-one drills, and trainers spent several minutes examining him before calling for a cart. Moore didn’t put weight on his leg as trainers helped him to the cart.

Moore was one of five Bears receivers who missed practice Tuesday. Darnell Mooney and Equanimeous St. Brown are their top two healthy receivers, but the injuries have made the depth beyond that murky.

“It does make it difficult,” Eberflus said. “You lose men on a 90-man roster and it makes it difficult for the other guys. We’re at that situation where we’ve got to just keep on working through it. Next man up and the whole roster is going to get more reps at that position.”

Eberflus didn’t have an immediate update on Moore, who totaled 78 catches for 1,163 yards and 13 touchdowns over four seasons with the Seattle Seahawks.

But Eberflus did confirm that N’Keal Harry’s ankle injury will sideline him for a significant amount of time. NFL Network reported it is a high ankle sprain that could keep him out six weeks.

Byron Pringle is out with a quadriceps injury that Eberflus classified as more significant than day to day, though he doesn’t think it will affect Pringle’s start to the regular season. Velus Jones Jr. and Dante Pettis are also out with undisclosed injuries.

Pringle and Jones worked out on the Soldier Field sideline with other injured players Tuesday.

The status of tight end Cole Kmet also is worth watching. He sat out team work late in practice Tuesday. The Bears also were without tight ends Ryan Griffin and James O’Shaughnessy.

Defensive lineman Angelo Blackson and cornerbacks Kyler Gordon and Duke Shelley were present but didn’t practice.

“It’s just next man up,” St. Brown said. “It’s football, injuries happen. You hate to see your fellow teammates go down, but in the middle of practice, the next person has to step up and fill the shoes of wherever we are missing guys. You hate to see it and it happens every year, but, yeah, people have to step up.”
