    Bears Week 6 Injury Report: 3 Defenders OUT vs. Jaguars

    The Chicago Bears are carrying serious momentum into Week 6 following a 36-10 win over the Carolina Panthers. They'll travel across the pond — but do so slightly shorthanded — to face the Jacksonville Jaguars in London this Sunday.

    Defensive backs Jaquan Brisker (concussion) and Terell Smith (hip) and defensive lineman Zacch Pickens (groin) are out for Sunday's game. Brisker suffered a concussion following a violent hit on Panthers tight end Tommy Tremble in Week 5.

    Pickens has struggled all season with a groin injury, while Smith hasn't played since Week 3 due to a hip problem.

    Defensive back Kyler Gordon (heel) and offensive lineman Teven Jenkins (ankle) were both limited on Wednesday while defensive lineman Jacob Martin (toe) was a full participant.

    Gordon wasn't listed on last week's injury report last week, so his heel injury is a new development. Last week, Jenkins was dealing with a rib injury, making his ankle injury new.

    Gordon and Jenkins are experienced players, and Wednesday practices are often considered "veteran days." It's commonplace for vets to be limited or out on Wednesday with no serious injury concerns for the upcoming game.

    Still, both players' statuses will be worth monitoring throughout the rest of the week.

    See you bright and early on Sunday.

    Bear Down.
