Thank goodness if true. It did not sound good at all.

Great news if true!

Best case scenario is he starts the season on the PUP list

Remember there are unlimited IR slots this year where they player can come back

It's nice that they only have to miss 3 games before they can come back!

They said he flew to Chicago and is with the team..

Not a doctor but I think it the injury was believed to be season-ending or requiring surgery at this time, they wouldn't have dragged him out there following that type of injury.

Hopefully we dodged a bullet this time

was thinking the same thing....why take him to Chicago if the injury is real bad?

Even if he can't contribute much this season, better long term prospects not having to recover from an injury like a torn ACL or ACL/MCL combo.

They said Preston could come back after 5 weeks last year, it's now 9 months

i think it's much better than that.

he wouldn't have been on a plane for a few hours with an injured leg.

he may actually be "day to day."

you might see him in the game saturday! (i'd hold him out even if he looked fine, but that's just me)

i think we really dodged a bullet here, boys.

The rumor is that Preston had a Lisfranc injury. The league average to return from that is a little over 11 months. They didn't reveal that publicly, but my guess is that they knew he'd start camp on the PUP a long time ago. I could see both Preston and Long starting the season on IR and coming back about a quarter to a half of the way into the season.

Long is on the sideline at practice with Da Bears. No brace, no wrap, nada.

Maybe he requested to eat deep dish pizza or there is a famous stripclub
