Bears Week 7 inactives: Khalil Mack and Bilal Nichols active vs. Bucs

The Chicago Bears have released their inactives ahead of their Week 7 game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, and there’s good and bad news.

Outside linebacker Khalil Mack (foot), defensive tackle Bilal Nichols (knee) and wide receiver Allen Robinson (ankle) are all active for today’s showdown against the Bucs.

Mack has been a regular on the injury report for the last few weeks with a foot injury, but it’s not a surprise that he’s good to go. Nichols was the big concern considering he suffered a knee injury on Thursday and was deemed questionable. Robinson was dealing with an ankle injury this week, but it hasn’t slowed him down.

Here’s a look at those inactive against the Bucs:

• QB Nick Foles

• WR Breshad Perriman

• S Tashaun Gipson

• DT Akiem Hicks

Hicks reaggravated a groin injury in last week’s loss to the Packers. While he was limited on Friday after missing Wednesday and Thursday’s practices, Hicks was downgraded to out ahead of the game.

Gipson popped up on the injury report this week with a hip injury, and he was ruled out on Friday. With Gipson out and Deon Bush on injured reserve, that means it’ll be Eddie Jackson and DeAndre Houston-Carson at safety.

Here’s a look at the Bucs’ inactives:

• QB Kyle Trask

• CB Richard Sherman

• LB Lavonte David

• G Nick Leverett

• WR Antonio Brown

• TE Rob Gronkowski

• NT Steve McLendon
