27 Sherrick McManis DB

McManis had 26 tackles (24 solo), one interception and one sack in 15 games this season.

McManis had a relatively minor defensive role through the first 12 weeks of the season, but that changed once Bryce Callahan landed on injured reserve with a broken foot. McManis subsequently took over as the nickel cornerback in his first considerable defensive playing time of the past two seasons and played fairly well. The 31-year-old is under contract with the Bears for one more season and his role for 2019 remains in flux with Callahan set to become an unrestricted free agent.

McManis will replace the injured Bryce Callahan (foot) at nickel cornerback during Sunday's game against the Packers, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

McManis logged a season high 35 defensive snaps during last week's win over the Rams, so he could retain a similar activity level Sunday with Callahan now on IR with a foot injury. McManis racked up seven tackles (six solo) while also serving on special teams in Week 14.

McManis (hamstring) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Rich Campbell of the Chicago Tribune reports.

McManis sat out last week's loss to the Giants and was only a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, but he now appears to have fully recovered from his lingering hamstring issue. He'll serve his usual depth role against the Rams in Week 14.

McManis (hamstring) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Giants, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

This designation shouldn't come as much of a surprise given McManis did not practice all week. Kevin Toliver will act as the fourth cornerback with the likes of Prince Amukamara, Kyle Fuller and Bryce Callahan ahead of him.

McManis (hamstring) is officially listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Giants.

McManis did not practice in any capacity this week, so his injury designation is unsurprising. The veteran cornerback will likely sit out Sunday's tilt against the Giants, allowing the Bears' other depth players to see a slight uptick in special teams snaps.
