Chicago's thin secondary has lost a trusted veteran.
Tracy Porter left Saturday's preseason loss to the Chiefs with a concussion. Porter was hurt on a second-down play late in the first half trying to bring down tight end Demetrius Harris.
While far from a game-changing cover man, the 30-year-old veteran represented the last dose of depth for a position group already missing Kyle Fuller due to a knee injury.
Porter's injury is the anti-cherry on top of a terrible first half for the Bears. It can only get better from here.
Porter's teammate, linebacker Jonathan Anderson suffered a shoulder injury during the game.
Here are the other injuries we are monitoring on Saturday:
- Chris Gragg's season is over. The Bills backup tight end suffered an ACL injury during Friday's loss to the Redskins and took to Instagram on Saturday to announce how serious it was.
