27 Sherrick McManis DB

McManis (hamstring) will not return to Sunday's wild-card bout in New Orleans.

The Bears ruled McManis out to return just as the second half of Sunday's contest began. The veteran safety's absence will be a fairly substantial blow to Chicago's special-teams unit.

McManis (hand) was a full participant during Wednesday's practice.

McManis was forced to miss last week's loss to the Packers with the hand issue, but he appears on track to return for Sunday's game against Lions. Barring any setbacks, expect the veteran to assume his usual depth role at strong safety for Week 13.

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

McManis' hand injury has prevented him from suiting up since Week 9. The Bears will mostly feel his absence on special teams versus Green Bay.

McManis (finger) logged a full practice session Thursday after being limited Wednesday.

McManis was unable to play through a broken finger Week 11, providing the 32-year-old with his fourth inactive designation of the 2020 campaign. He's missed back-to-back games, in fact, but improvement to the defensive back's practice level bodes well for his Week 12 status. McManis has played a nearly exclusive special-teams role, with only 14 total defensive snaps on the year.

McManis (finger) has been ruled out for Monday's game versus the Vikings.

McManis suffered a broken finger in last week's loss to the Titans, and he's not able to play through it yet. The fact that the Bears didn't place him on IR is an encouraging sign, however, as the veteran safety could return after the Week 11 bye.

Coach Matt Nagy said McManis broke his index finger during Sunday's loss to the Titans, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

McManis plays almost exclusively on special teams and is tied for second on the team with five special-teams tackles. The veteran may be able to play through this injury with a cast on his finger in the Week 10 matchup against Minnesota.

McManis won't return to Sunday's game against the Titans due to a hand injury, Adam Hoge of NBC Sports Chicago reports.

McManis had one tackle before leaving the contest during the second half. The veteran safety has mostly played special teams this season, so his absence is unlikely to significantly impact the Chicago defense.

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

McManis was questionable due to the hamstring issue but will be suiting up Sunday. The veteran safety has played only a handful of defensive snaps when active this season, and that seems unlikely to change in Week 8.

McManis (hamstring) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against New Orleans.

McManis wasn't able to suit up for Monday's loss to the Rams, but it looks like he has a fair shot to return Sunday. The special-teams ace practiced in full Friday after having begun the week with back-to-back limited sessions.

McManis (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game versus the Rams.

McManis rarely plays on defense, but his absence will hurt the Bears' safety depth, especially with Deon Bush (hamstring) also considered questionable. If Bush sits out as well, Deandre Houston-Carson is expected to handle increased duties at safety.

McManis (hamstring) is active for Chicago's Week 6 matchup against the Panthers, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

The special-teams stalwart was a full practice participant both Thursday and Friday, providing optimism that he would be activated for this contest. McManis played over 70 percent of the special-teams snaps in Weeks 1 and 2, but he exited partway through the Bears' Sept. 27 win over Atlanta because of a hamstring issue. Sunday will mark McManis' first appearance since suffering that injury in Week 3.

McManis (hamstring) was a full participant during Thursday's practice.

McManis was forced to miss last week's game against the Buccaneers with the hamstring issue, but he appears to be nearing a return to the field. Now healthy, look for the veteran to assume his usual depth role at safety while logging a majority of his snaps on special teams.

McManis (hamstring) is officially inactive for Thursday's matchup with Tampa Bay.

McManis came into the game carrying a doubtful tag after he was held out of practice throughout the week. Now that he'll be officially sidelined, Deandre Houston-Carson is the only healthy depth safety suiting up with Deon Bush (hamstring) also missing the game.

McManis (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Buccaneers.

McManis was held out of practice throughout the week, so it's highly likely he won't be in uniform Thursday. With Deon Bush (hamstring) already ruled out, Deandre Houston-Carson appears to be the only depth safety healthy for Week 5.

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

McManis never appeared likely to play this week after sitting out practice, and he officially won't be suiting up. Deon Bush and Deandre Houston-Carson will serve as Chicago's reserve safeties Week 4.

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

The veteran safety picked up the injury during last week's win over the Falcons and was unable to practice this week, so the fact he wasn't fully ruled out is somewhat of a surprise. McManis played only nine defensive snaps through the first three games of the season, so the starting unit is unlikely to be impacted by his expected absence.

McManis (hamstring) won't return to Sunday's game against the Falcons, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

It's unclear how McManis suffered the injury, but it's serious enough for him to be immediately ruled out. As long as the veteran is sidelined, look for Deon Bush and Eddie Jackson to handle the bulk of the strong safety snaps.

McManis (shoulder) returned to practice Wednesday, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

The injury forced McManis to miss about a week's worth of training camp, but he'll return to valuable practice reps. Now healthy, McManis will resume preparing for another season as one of the Bears' core special teamers.

McManis missed practice Monday due to a shoulder injury.

The good news for McManis is that coach Matt Nagy said that the injury is "nothing to be concerned about." Once healthy, McManis will resume preparing for another season as one of the Bears' core special teamers.

McManis (groin) is competing for position in Chicago's secondary at safety, Larry Mayer of the team's official site reports.

McManis will compete with the likes of Deon Bush, Deandre Houston-Carson and Tashaun Gipson for the starting strong safety position. Gipson is the current leading candidate to emerge as the No. 1 option, but it's notable that McManis, a longtime special-teams standout, at least has a shot at earning increased defensive snaps.
