McManis (hamstring) is active for Chicago's Week 6 matchup against the Panthers, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The special-teams stalwart was a full practice participant both Thursday and Friday, providing optimism that he would be activated for this contest. McManis played over 70 percent of the special-teams snaps in Weeks 1 and 2, but he exited partway through the Bears' Sept. 27 win over Atlanta because of a hamstring issue. Sunday will mark McManis' first appearance since suffering that injury in Week 3.

McManis (hamstring) was a full participant during Thursday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

McManis was forced to miss last week's game against the Buccaneers with the hamstring issue, but appears nearing a return to the field. Now healthy, look for the veteran to assume his usual depth role at safety while handling a majority of his snaps on special teams.

McManis (hamstring) is officially inactive for Thursday's matchup with Tampa Bay.

EDGE Analysis

McManis came into the game drawing a doubtful tag after he was held out of practice throughout the week. Now that he'll be officially sidelined, Deandre Houston-Carson is the only healthy depth safety suiting up with Deon Bush (hamstring) also missing the game.

McManis (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Thursday's game against the Buccaneers.

EDGE Analysis

McManis was held out of practice throughout the week, so it's highly likely he won't be in uniform Thursday. With Deon Bush (hamstring) already ruled out, Deandre Houston-Carson appears to be the only depth safety healthy for Week 5.

McManis (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Colts.

EDGE Analysis

McManis never appeared likely to play this week after sitting out practice, and he officially won't be suiting up. Deon Bush and Deandre Houston-Carson will serve as Chicago's reserve safeties Week 4.

McManis (hamstring) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Colts.

EDGE Analysis

The veteran safety picked up the injury during last week's win over the Falcons and was unable to practice this week, so the fact he wasn't fully ruled out is somewhat of a surprise. McManis played only nine defensive snaps through the first three games of the season, so the starting unit is unlikely to be impacted by his expected absence.

McManis (hamstring) won't return to Sunday's game against the Falcons, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear how McManis suffered the injury, but it's serious enough to be immediately ruled out. As long as the veteran is sidelined, look for Deon Bush and Eddie Jackson to handle the bulk of the strong safety snaps.

McManis (shoulder) returned to practice Wednesday, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

The injury forced McManis to miss about a week's worth of training camp, but he'll return to valuable practice reps. Now healthy, McManis will resume preparing for another season as one of the Bears' core special teamers.

McManis missed practice Monday due to a shoulder injury.

EDGE Analysis

The good news for McManis is that coach Matt Nagy said that the injury is "nothing to be concerned about." Once healthy, McManis will continue to compete for a position in Chicago's secondary at safety.

McManis (groin) is competing for position in Chicago's secondary at safety, Larry Mayer of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

McManis will compete with the likes of Deon Bush, Deandre Houston-Carson and Tashaun Gipson for the starting strong safety position. Gipson is the current leading candidate to emerge as the No. 1 option, but it's notable that McManis, a longtime special-teams standout, at least has a shot at earning increased defensive snaps.
