Bears’ inactives vs. Commanders: S Jaquan Brisker playing despite hamstring injury

The Bears hoped Brisker would be available,, especially with Eddie Jackson out.

LANDOVER, Md. — The Bears’ secondary is in rough shape Thursday against the Commanders.

But at least they’ll have safety Jaquan Brisker.

They already were down three starters in safety Eddie Jackson (foot) and cornerbacks Jaylon Johnson (hamstring) and Kyler Gordon (hand), then Brisker hurt his hamstring during practice Wednesday. That prompted the Bears to list him as questionable on their injury report.

Josh Blackwell normally would be Gordon’s backup, but he’s also on IR.

The good news for the Bears is they activated left guard Teven Jenkins from injured reserve.
