## Bears injury report update
Bears upgraded guard Jonah Jackson to limited practice status Tuesday after hip and quad injuries.
## Jackson's status change
Jackson, who has hip and quad injuries, was upgraded to limited in the estimated injury report Tuesday.
## Who will play if Jackson can't
If Jackson can't play, the Bears will turn to Luke Newman, who replaced him Sunday.
## Other players out
Running back Kyle Monangai remains out and is unlikely to play Thursday. Linebackers T.J. Edwards (hamstring) and Jack Sanborn (concussion) wouldn't have practiced.
## Bears sign Coby Bryant
The Bears chose to sign safety Coby Bryant instead of re-signing Kevin Byard, who led the NFL with seven interceptions and was named a first-team All-Pro last season.
## Bryant's new team
Bryant landed with the Patriots and coach Mike Vrabel, his old boss with the Titans.
## Bryant's impact
Wide receiver Rome Odunze said, 'I’m looking forward to going up against him. And hopefully after the game, after the win, I’ll say my hellos.'

Bears upgraded guard Jonah Jackson to limited practice status after hip and quad injuries, with Luke Newman set to replace him if Jackson can't play.
