75756A5E-120A-4932-810C-2FD980DB785E

(670 The Score) Bears receiver Chase Claypool (knee) is doubtful for Chicago's game against Buffalo on Saturday at Soldier Field.

Claypool didn't practice Wednesday and Thursday after being a limited participant in practice Tuesday. He missed the Bears' loss to the Eagles last Sunday. Claypool's injury occurred during the Bears' contest against the Packers on Dec. 4 at Soldier Field.

Claypool has 44 receptions for 422 yards and a touchdown over 13 games this season, including 12 catches for 111 yards in five games with the Bears. He was acquired by Chicago from Pittsburgh on Nov. 1 just prior to the NFL trade deadline.

The Bears listed cornerback Jaylon Johnson (finger/ribs) as questionable to play Saturday. The concern for Johnson's status is with the function of his hand, coach Matt Eberflus said.

"We feel good right now where it is," Eberflus said of Johnson's status.

The Bears listed guard Teven Jenkins (neck) and guard Cody Whitehair (knee) as doubtful. The team could adjust its offensive line with Michael Schofield and Larry Borom at guard, Eberflus said.

The Bears ruled out cornerback Kindle Vildor (ankle), receiver Equanimeous St. Brown (concussion) and tight end Trevon Wesco (calf).

Bears running back Khalil Herbert (hip) will be activated off injured reserve ahead of the game, Eberflus said. He has missed the last four games, the minimum requirement before a player can be activated. Herbert has rushed 108 times for 643 yards and four scores this season.

The Bears (3-11) and Bills (11-3) kick off at noon CT on Saturday from Soldier Field.
