Bears Final Injury Report vs Browns: Two starters enter into the weekend as questionable
Denny Medley-USA TODAY Sports

The Chicago Bears have released their final injury report for Sunday's pivotal matchup against the Cleveland Browns.

The team has officially ruled out two players and will be listing two starters as questionable entering into the weekend.

Wide receiver DJ Moore and safety Jaquan Brisker will be questionable after popping up on the injury report earlier this week.

Here's the official look at the team's injury report released following Friday's practice:

While appearing on the "Up and Adams" show earlier on Friday, Moore revealed that he will play on Sunday despite missing practice on Wednesday with an ankle injury he suffered in Week 14. Moore was a full participant during Friday's practice. Bears head coach took the time to commend Moore on Friday while speaking with reporters for his toughness and leadership he's shown in his first year in Chicago.

"Your best players have to be your hardest workers but they gotta be the toughest too and that's what he is," Eberflus said. "He is a tough son of a gun and and he's got everything you want from a leader. He doesn't have to say much and when he talks everybody listens. It's really good to have him."

Brisker did not participate in practice on Thursday with a groin injury but returned on Friday as a limited participant. Eberflus said on Friday that Brisker was dealing with tightness but is trending in the right direction. His status for Sunday's game will be important to monitor throughout the weekend.

Wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown and special teamer Noah Sewell were both listed as out going into the weekend. Brown missed Week 14's win over the Detroit Lions with the same pectoral injury and will now be missing his ninth game of the season. Sewell missed Weeks 11-12 with a knee injury and will miss yet another despite returning last weekend.

Linebacker Dylan Cole is the only other player on the Bears roster listed on the injury report, although his absence on Wednesday was reported as a personal reason. He will be expected to play after returning during the last two days of practice.
