LAKE FOREST, Ill. (670 The Score) — Bears receiver Keenan Allen is trending toward a return.
Allen practiced in full Friday and was listed as questionable to play against the Rams on Sunday. Friday marked the first time in three weeks that Allen was a full participant in practice. The 32-year-old Allen has been dealing with plantar fasciitis, which forced him to miss the Bears' last two games.
The Bears acquired Allen from the Chargers in March, sending a fourth-round pick back to Los Angeles in the trade. Allen had four receptions in the Bears' win against the Titans on Sept. 8 in their season opener but checked out of that game while experiencing more pain in his heel.
Bears safety Kevin Byard (back) and defensive tackle Andrew Billings (knee) are also questionable for Sunday. The team ruled out defensive tackle Zacch Pickens (groin), cornerback Terell Smith (hip) and tight end Stephen Carlson (collarbone).
Kickoff between the Bears (1-2) and Rams (1-2) comes at noon CT on Sunday from Soldier Field.
