Cunningham (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Panthers.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham doesn't have much offensive potential sitting behind Jordan Howard and Tarik Cohen in the depth chart, but he has been used occasionally in pass-catching scenarios. If he can't go Sunday, it won't shake up the Bears' offensive game plan, though.

The Bears listed Cunningham (hamstring) as a limited participant in Thursday's practice, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham, who exited Sunday's overtime win over the Ravens with the hamstring injury, was also limited in Wednesday's session. The expectation remains that Cunningham will suit up Sunday against the Panthers, but if he plays, he'll provide most of his value to the Bears as a special-teams player rather than in his role as the team's third-string running back. In fact, Cunningham's lone touchdown on the season came on a fake-punt pass play in the Week 5 loss to the Vikings.

Cunningham is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Ravens.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham only has six carries and five receptions in four games this season, so his absence won't hurt fantasy owners. However, he's a valued kick returner, and rookie Tarik Cohen will take over there until Cunningham is healthy.

Cunningham caught two passes for 42 yards and a touchdown while adding one carry for four yards in Monday's loss to the Vikings.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham's touchdown came on a fake punt, though he did break a pair of tackles after catching the pass. Otherwise, he was a minor part of the game plan, as he touched the ball twice with the regular offense on the field. He'll have elevated fantasy value should the Bears suffer an injury to one of their top two running backs, but in any case, it's unlikely he'd have more than flex value in any situation.

Cunningham had five carries for 26 yards in Thursday's loss to the Packers.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham saw most of his work in the fourth quarter when the game was out of hand, though he had two carries in the first half. He's shown over the last two weeks that he's a small part of Chicago's backfield rotation, but with just eight touches during that time, he's a weak fantasy option.

Cunningham caught three passes for 23 yards in Sunday's victory over the Steelers.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham made a quick return after missing the Week 2 contest with an ankle injury, but immediately resumed his role as a passing-down specialist. He was targeted three times, which was one fewer than rookie sensation Tarik Cohen, but Cunningham is a very reliable blocker, so it wasn't a big surprise that he had a role in the game plan. It's unlikely that he'll see enough consistent targets to become a reliable fantasy option.

Cunningham (ankle) practiced fully Thursday, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Diagnosed with a left high-ankle sprain after Week 1, Cunningham has required just a week and a half to achieve a full practice. The Bears still have one question mark in the backfield, though, as Jordan Howard's right shoulder continues to ail him. If Howard's snap count is kept in check Sunday versus the Steelers, Cunningham may receive reps beyond kick-return duties, but Tarik Cohen and even Taquan Mizzell are better candidates to pick up carries and targets.

Cunningham (ankle) was a limited practice participant Wednesday, Adam Hoge of WGN Radio 720 AM Chicago reports.
EDGE Analysis
The session marks Cunningham's first since suffering a left high-ankle sprain in the regular-season opener. Because such injuries are typically accompanied by a multi-week absence, he may have been testing the waters Wednesday. If he proves healthy enough to suit up Sunday against the Steelers, he may be hard-pressed to wrest pass-catching duties from rookie Tarik Cohen, though first- and second-down work could be available due to the shoulder injury plaguing starting RB Jordan Howard at the moment.

Cunningham (ankle) is inactive Sunday for the Bears' Week 2 game against the Buccaneers, Jeff Dickerson of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham played just six snaps in the Week 1 loss to the Falcons before suffering a high-ankle sprain and exiting the contest. That type of injury usually requires multiple weeks to heal, so it's no surprise that Cunningham, who listed as doubtful heading into Week 2, will end up missing at least one game. He serves an important role for the Bears on special teams, but with Jordan Howard and rookie Tarik Cohen seemingly entrenched as the team's top two backs, Cunningham wouldn't have been in line for much work offensively Sunday if he had been healthy.

Cunningham (ankle) is doubtful for Sunday' s game in Tampa Bay, Zach Zaidman of CBS 2 Chicago reports.
EDGE Analysis
Cunningham suffered a high-ankle sprain Week 1 and likely is looking at a multi-game absence. He may be limited primarily to work as a kick returner once healthy, as the Bears appear set in the backfield with Jordan Howard (back) and Tarik Cohen.
