Briggs (ribs) practiced fully Thursday, the Bears' official site reports. Entering Chicago's Week 9 bye, Briggs had three consecutive DNPs on his game log due to a rib injury. However, he hasn't missed a rep in drills this week, meaning he should retake his normal spot at weakside linebacker. The soon-to-be 34-year-old is reaching the twilight of his career, though, with 22 tackles (15 solo), two passes defended, and one interception through five contests this season.
