The Chicago Bears defense is already thin in a number of areas. The last thing they needed was to lose one of their best players. That’s exactly what happened when Leonard Floyd got into a collision with teammate Kyle Fuller while attempting to make a tackle against the Detroit Lions. It appears to be a lower right leg injury of some time.

The injury misfortunes are long and star-studded for the Bears over the past two years. Floyd was in the midst of having a good year and looked like he was getting better. To get taken out by his own teammate makes this far more bittersweet. Time will tell how severe an injury it is, but typically when a cart is involved it’s never good.
