Here it is:

Cornerback Prince Amukamara did not practice on Monday. I’ll be curious to find why Amukamara, when Head Coach Matt Nagy chats with the media on Tuesday.
It’s possible Amukamara was given a veteran’s day to rest and recover after the quick turnaround playing 134 of a possible 136 total snaps over the span of the last two games. We’ll see what Nagy has to say tomorrow,
As for the rest of the injury report, some more of the same.
The Bears did some interesting things without Braunecker and Gabriel to lean on, pushing the offense forward with an increase of four-receiver sets that didn’t feature a tight end. Along the offensive line, Cornelius Lucas III played all 65 snaps on offense in place of Massie. And Nick Kwiatkoski continues to hold down the fort while Trevathan is out of action.
But being without Amukamara when Amari Cooper and Randall Cobb are coming to town is less than ideal. So with that in mind, we will keep an eye on Amukamara’s status as we approach Thursday’s game.
