    The Chicago Bears have released the first injury report following Wednesday's practice with no surprises listed leading up to the regular season opener against the Tennessee Titans.

    The Bears had just six players listed on the first report, all of whom were limited participants during what head coach Matt Eberflus said would be a physical day.

    Head coach Matt Eberflus addressed the media ahead of practice and said that he likes where his team stands going into the Week 1 matchup. It's a great sign for the team to start off the week. Here's the official report.

    Wide receiver Keenan Allen was in fact listed as a limited participant on Wednesday with a heel injury. Prior to practice, Allen told reporters that he considers himself "day-by-day" heading into his first game with the Bears.

    Star defensive end Montez Sweat (toe) was also listed as a limited participant.

    It was great to see Ryan Bates (shoulder) and Kiran Amegadjie (quad) take the field during Wednesday's practice. Having both players suited up on Sunday would be an incredible boost for the offensive line depth against a stout Titans defensive front.

    Roschon Johnson (toe) and Zacch Pickens (groin) each missed time during the preseason and the later part of camp with their respective injuries. If either player can't go, the Bears have a solid backup plan already in place.

    At running back, D'Andre Swift and Khalil Herbert can handle the load with Velus Jones Jr. getting some work in the backfield as well. The team also has Travis Homer in the room to handle duties on special teams.

    At defensive tackle, the Bears made a trade to add Chris Williams to the room and then signed Sam Roberts to the practice squad . If Pickens can't go on Sunday, expect to see Roberts get called up to the game day roster.

    Overall, it's a great start to the week on the injury front and we'll see if it continues to be the case over the next two days.
