A rib injury sidelined Bears guard Teven Jenkins at practice Wednesday and also kept out punt returner/receiver DeAndre Carter.

The Bears started practice Wednesday for Sunday's game with Carolina without two players due to rib injuries.

Guard Teven Jenkins left Sunday's win over the Rams with bruised ribs and coach Matt Eberflus said Wednesday that wide receiver/return man DeAndre Carter also has a rib injury. Like Jenkins, Carter also missed practice on Wednesday.

Eberflus wouldn't commit to using Nate Davis at right guard in place of Jenkins, with Matt Pryor at left guard again like during the win over the Rams, should Jenkins miss the game.

"We're going to look at all combinations," Eberflus said. "That certainly is one of them."

The Bears also announce defensive end Jacob Martin is still on injured reserve. They have the ability to start the window to bring him off IR at this time. He's been out since training camp started with a toe injury.

Terell Smith (hip) and Zacch Pickens (groin) did not practice Wednesday and missed all last week's practices as well as the game.

Defensive end Montez Sweat (ankle) and tight end Cole Kmet (knee) were limited in practice. Sweat missed some practice time last week but it was with an elbow injury. The injury to Kmet is a new one.
