(670 The Score) The Bears have ruled out receiver Darnell Mooney (concussion) against the Falcons on Sunday, while tight end Cole Kmet (knee) is questionable.
Mooney self-reported concussion symptoms to the Bears and entered the protocol this week in the aftermath of Chicago's 27-16 win against Arizona on Sunday. He has 31 receptions for 414 yards and a touchdown this season.
Kmet left the game Sunday after suffering a knee injury in the first half. He was a limited participant in practice Friday, and he "looks pretty good," coach Matt Eberflus told reporters. Kmet is a key weapon for the Bears, with 70 catches for 678 yards and six touchdowns in 15 games. Kmet has never missed a game over four seasons with the Bears.
Bears center Lucas Patrick (knee) is questionable to play Sunday after being a limited participant in practice Friday. Left guard Teven Jenkins has cleared the concussion protocol and doesn't carry an injury designation after being a full participant in practice Friday.
The Bears (6-9) and Falcons (7-8) kick off at noon CT on Sunday from Soldier Field.
