Battered Bears debut at Soldier Field

CHICAGO — Apparently the new look includes a big ice wrap straddled around your leg.


Though no Bears players have suffered season-threatening injuries, the nagging kind keep popping up. Even at Saturday night's Family Fest at Soldier Field.


This time, it was defensive end Julius Peppers with a wrap around his hamstring, as he and second-year receiver Alshon Jeffery both had tightness in the muscle and left practice for precautionary reasons.


Defensive back Kelvin Hayden also went with the wrap look for his hamstring, though he was put at a more serious status, leaning more toward "week to week." He stayed wrapped up on the sideline during the team's last meeting in the heart of the field after practice.


Peppers had his wrap off before the end of practice, but defensive end Cornelius Washington also suffered an elbow strain, and receiver Earl Bennett left to be evaluated for a concussion.
