LAKE FOREST http://www.denverbroncosteamonline.com/dre_mont-jones-jersey , Ill. (AP) — The Chicago Bears appear likely to get starting right guard Kyle Long back from injured reserve for Sunday’s game against the Minnesota Vikings, although no final decision has yet been made.Long has been out since Oct. 28, when he suffered a tendon injury in his right foot against the New York Jets.“I thought he’s had a good week of practice and, again, when you’re out that long and you come back, a lot of it is just getting your wind back T.J. Hockenson Jersey , your conditioning back and then obviously trying to see exactly how you feel pain-wise and then health-wise as well,” Bears coach Matt Nagy said Friday. “But he’s done a good job.”The NFC North champion Bears (11-4) could earn a first-round playoff bye with a win and a loss by the Los Angeles Rams, while the Vikings (8-6-1) need a win or a loss by the Philadelphia Eagles to make the playoffs as a wild card.Nagy said coaches and medical officials would meet later Friday to sort out final details on player availability, but the return of the three-time Pro Bowl player seemed imminent either for the full game or at least part of it.“Just talking to him throughout the week, I feel pretty good with him playing most of the game,” Nagy said. “But we’ve just got to kind of see if that’s where we’re at and if it is a pitch count.“I think a lot of that honestly is going to be more so when you’re in the game: How’s he feeling? If he’s feeling good Justice Hill Jersey , keep him going.”Nagy said Long has done everything required in practices.Long had surgery on the foot after his injury and was put on injured reserve with an option to return.“He’s gonna be a good addition to what’s already going on offensively,” linebacker Khalil Mack said. “Just being able to have him back is huge for us. Looking forward to seeing how he does.”Long was replaced by Eric Kush and then Bryan Witzmann following his injury.Long returned to practice for the first time last Friday and said conditioning was the biggest issue.“I mean, I’m not a marathon runner, thank God,” Long said earlier this week. “It’s a six-second (play) interval. If it was double digits, I don’t know if I’d ever be able to make it.”It appears the Bears will be without several other key players.Safety Eddie Jackson (ankle) http://www.ravenscheapstores.com/ben-powers-jersey-cheap , linebacker Aaron Lynch (elbow) and wide receiver Allen Robinson II (ribs) have not practiced the entire week and are all doubtful for Sunday’s game.Defensive tackle Bilal Nichols (knee) is questionable after practicing all week on a limited basis. Houston Astros shortstop Carlos Correa is heading to the 10-day disabled list because of a stiff back.
Correa sat out games on Tuesday and Wednesday, and wasn’t in the lineup Thursday night at Tampa Bay. The Astros say he’ll be put on the DL on Friday.
”He feels better, but we just need to do the right thing and get him completely symptom-free and not sore,” manager A.J. Hinch said. ”He’s not going to be available, so we’ll move forward and hopefully this is just 10 days and he’ll be activated by next weekend.”
Hinch said by putting Correa on the disabled list Friday, retroactive for three days Iman Marshall Jersey , there is a possibility the 23-year-old star can be activated July 5 for a weekend series against the Chicago White Sox.
Correa is hitting .268 with 13 home runs and 49 RBIs in 73 games and recently had a streak of 70 errorless games.
The Astros will make a corresponding move to fill their 25-man roster on Friday.
Marwin Gonzalez was in Houston’s lineup at shortstop Thursday night.
