27 Sherrick McManis DB

McManis (groin) was placed on IR by the Bears on Saturday.

McManis will finish the season with just 11 tackles in nine games. The 31-year-old special teams contributor suffered the injury in Week 12 against the Giants.

McManis (groin) will miss Thursday's Thanksgiving matchup against Detroit.

Not surprisingly, McManis will miss Thursday's game due to a groin injury that the team fears could end his season. Healthy or not, the 31-year-old is not relevant in fantasy, with 11 tackles in nine games. McManis also has one forced fumble this season.

The Bears fear McManis may have a tear in his groin muscle, which would rule him out for the rest of the year, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

McManis plays sparingly on defense, but he's an integral part of the Bears' punt and kick coverages, as he ranks eighth in the league with eight special teams tackles. Further testing still needs to be completed to confirm the tear. Either way, it's unlikely he plays Thursday against Detroit.

McManis (groin) is out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Giants.

It's unclear how McManis picked up the injury, but the fact that he's been immediately ruled out suggests it could be serious. Now that the veteran has officially been ruled out, Deon Bush and Deandre Houston-Carson will continue to handle the depth safety reps.

McManis cleared the league's concussion protocol.

McManis will be ready to play in Sunday's game against the Chargers, and he'll be ready to slot into a special-teams role. The veteran has six tackles over the last three contests.

McManis has been placed in concussion protocol and won't return to Sunday's game against the Saints, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun Times reports.

McManis' injury is just the latest thing to go wrong for a Bears team that's getting blown out at home coming out of a bye.

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.

McManis (hamstring) returned for Thursday's Hall of Fame Game, Colleen Kane of the Chicago Tribune reports.

McMannis recently missed practice with a hamstring injury, but the cornerback now seems to be fully recovered. He's competing for a depth role in the Bears secondary.

McManis sat out Friday's practice session due to a hamstring injury, Rich Campbell of the Chicago Tribune reports.

The severity of McManis' hamstring injury is unclear, but the team hasn't expressed concern about him missing an extended period of time. The veteran corner appears to be in line for a reserve role this season and his potential absence from further practices will open up a few reps for Doran Grant and Cre'von LeBlanc.

McManis inked a two-year deal with the Bears on Thursday, Brad Biggs of The Chicago Tribune reports.

McManis has spent the past six seasons in Chicago, cementing himself as a special team's ace. Last season he led the Bears with 269 snaps on special teams, despite missing three games. In addition to tying a team-high 12 special teams tackle last season, he also blocked a field goal and recovered a fumble.

McManis tallied 13 stops and recovered a fumble in his eighth NFL season.

McManis played 31 defensive snaps, and he's had more than 45 just once during his eight-year career. Since he's primarily a special-teams player who doesn't return kicks, he carries very little value as an IDP as he enters unrestricted free agency.

McManis (hamstring) was a full participant in practice Thursday, Colleen Kane of the Chicago Tribune reports.

McManis was back in action Thursday and it appears he'll be ready to go for Sunday's showdown with the Lions, barring any major setbacks. The cornerback has missed the past three contests because of the hamstring ailment, so his return Sunday could go a long way in shoring up the Bears' secondary.

McManis (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Packers.

McManis will miss his third straight game after first injuring his hamstring Oct. 15 against the Ravens. The defensive back didn't practice in any capacity this week with the Bears coming off a bye, suggesting he could be at risk of missing additional time beyond Sunday.

McManis (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Packers.

McManis has missed two straight games since suffering the injury against the Ravens in Week 6 and didn't practice this week, despite also having the Bears' bye week to rest. The 29-year-old has mostly been a special teams contributor and isn't worth fantasy consideration at this point.

McManis (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Saints.

McManis was doubtful entering Sunday, and it's no surprise to see him listed as inactive. Don't expect Chicago's defense to look much different than normal due to the backup corner's absence.

McManis (hamstring) has been listed as doubtful for Sunday's game in New Orleans, Jeff Dickerson of ESPN.com reports.

McManis will likely miss his second consecutive game, but this shouldn't affect the Bears' defensive dynamic much. The 29-year-old defensive back adds depth to the secondary, yet he's rarely used in defensive scenarios.
