Breaking: The injury status of Bears' outstanding receiver was revealed before Week 15

Bears’ Superb Receiver DJ Moore’s Injury Status Revealed Ahead of Week 15

The Bears will look to utilize their passing attack against an elite Cleveland defense now that their best weapon is confirmed to play.

The Chicago Bears were widely considered one of the worst teams in football even with stellar receiver DJ Moore. In the past few weeks though, this team is starting to look dangerous as they have won three out of their last four and are if they defeat the Cleveland Browns on Sunday, will be within one game of a wild card berth. Obviously it wouldn’t be possible if the entire league weren’t simply middling this season but it cannot be denied that they have a solid opportunity.

DJ Moore Expected to Play Against Cleveland

While he has struggling in practice this week with a minor ankle injury, Moore has officially been listed as questionable and is expected to start against Cleveland this week. Moore was a full participant in practice on Friday afternoon after being limited for the Thursday session.

NFL Insider Adam Schefter originally broke the report on Twitter on Sunday morning.

Moore was injured early in the second half last week against Detroit but returned a few plays later. Even toughing out a hurt ankle, Moore was still able to pull in a touchdown pass as he finished with 68 receiving yards and a score on six receptions. His head coach Matt Eberflus had glowing remarks regarding his tough receiver after the game.

“Your best players have to be your hardest workers, but they’ve got to be your toughest too, and that’s what he is,” said coach Matt Eberflus. “He is a tough son of a gun. He’s got everything you want from a leader. He doesn’t have to say much and when he talks, everybody listens. It’s really good to have him.”
