Six Bears sit out practice with injuries

Six players sat out practice Wednesday as the Bears began to prepare for Sunday’s home game against the Seahawks with a padded workout.

Linebacker Lance Briggs (ankle), tight end Kellen Davis (ankle), receivers Devin Hester (concussion) and Alshon Jeffery (knee), guard Chris Spencer (knee) and cornerback Charles Tillman (ankle) did not participate. Running back Matt Forte (ankle) was limited.

“We have a lot of guys that didn’t practice,” said coach Lovie Smith. “We haven’t been in that situation very often. We hadn’t been in it at all this year, but the rest of the guys had to step up, which they did.”
