Bears’ Khalil Herbert: Downplays ankle injury


Herbert (ankle) said after Thursday’s 40-20 win over Washington that he expects to be fine moving forward, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.

Herbert’s early exit Thursday put a damper on an otherwise strong performance, as he racked up 76 yards on only 10 rushes. He’ll have a few extra days to heal before the Bears‘ next game against the Vikings on Sunday, Oct. 15. Despite Herbert’s optimism, his practice participation will bear monitoring leading into the Week 6 NFC North clash. If Herbert is able to play, he’ll likely work as the top option in a backfield that also includes Roschon Johnson (concussion), Travis Homer (hamstring) and fullback Khari Blasingame, the latter of whom got eight carries Thursday after Chicago’s three available running backs got hurt.
