HIGHLIGHT: Kevin Byard III secures INT off Jaquan Brisker deflection Bears safety Kevin Byard grabs a pass tipped by Jaquan Brisker for his league-leading seventh interception of the season.

JANUARY 5 • CHICAGOBEARS.COM

Ready to rock Byard (ankle) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the 49ers.

Impact Byard opened the Bears' week of practice with consecutive limited sessions due to an ankle issue, but it now appears he'll suit up Sunday. The 32-year-old is one of the league's top ball hawks, recording 83 total tackles and seven passes defensed, including six interceptions, over 15 appearances this season. Now fully healthy, he's expected to start alongside Jaquan Brisker in the Bears' secondary in Week 17.

Listed as limited again Byard (ankle) is listed as limited on Thursday's estimated injury report.

Impact Chicago didn't hold an on-field practice Thursday, but Byard appears to be progressing steadily after having also been listed as limited Wednesday. He played 100 percent of defensive snaps during the Bears' overtime win over Green Bay in Week 16. As long as Byard is able to get in at least limited practice reps again Friday, he'll have solid odds of gaining clearance for Sunday's game against the 49ers.

Limited with ankle issue Byard (ankle ) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Byard played 100 percent of defensive snaps in last Saturday's overtime win over the Packers, so it is unclear where the starting safety sustained his ankle issue. Regardless of where it was sustained, the 32-year-old's ability to practice even in a limited capacity bodes well for his chances to suit up for Sunday night's game against the 49ers. Byard will have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation to full in hopes of dodging an injury designation ahead of Sunday's contest.

Logs quiet tackle output Week 16 Byard totaled two tackles (both solo) in Sunday's 31-3 win over Cleveland.

Impact Byard was part of a stifling Bears secondary that limited Shedeur Sanders to no touchdown tosses while picking off three passes, but the veteran safety posted a quiet stat line individually. His two tackles tied a season-low mark following a seven-game stretch during which he notched no fewer than five stops. Byard is still putting together an excellent campaign, as he leads the NFL with six interceptions.
