(670 The Score) Commanders quarterback Carson Wentz is dealing with an injury to his right throwing shoulder ahead of his team's game against the Bears on Thursday evening at Soldier Field.
Wentz was listed as a limited participant in the Commanders' practices Monday and Tuesday. Washington held a walk-through Monday, so Wentz's limited status was an estimate by the team.
Wentz has completed 62.9% of his passes for 1,390 yards, 10 touchdowns and six interceptions in five games this season. Washington's backup quarterback is Taylor Heinicke.
Bears cornerback Jaylon Johnson (quad) was listed Tuesday as a full participant on the Bears' injury report, which was the estimate of a practice. Safety Dane Cruikshank (hamstring) was also listed as a full participant, while receiver N'Keal Harry (ankle) would've been limited in his work after being activated off injured reserve.
Kickoff between the Bears (2-3) and Commanders (1-4) comes at 7:15 p.m. CT on Thursday at Soldier Field.
