Concern over DJ Moore's status for Sunday's Bears game against the Cleveland Browns diminished a bit Thursday when the star wide receiver returned to practice.

The concern now goes over to the other side of the ball and safety Jaquan Brisker.

Moore has an ankle injury and had missed Wednesday's practice but on Thursday he was able to go through a limited practice. Moore looked solid running through passing and downfield blocking drills on field with the team during the early "individual" portion or practice.

Moore has averaged 101 yards receiving in the eight full games he has played with Justin Fields and had 68 yards on six receptions last week, along with his first career TD run on a 16-yard fake end-around as wildcat QB.

Brisker missed Thursday's practice with a groin injury and, unlike with Moore, it's trending downward for the starting safety. Brisker, who had 17 tackles Sunday, had been able to practice Wednesday on a limited basis.

Backup linebacker Noah Sewell practiced on a limited basis due to a knee injury he had been suffering from before last week. Sewell had practiced on Wednesday. Wide receiver Equanimeous St. Brown (pectoral) remains out while linebacker Dylan Cole returned to practice after missing Wednesday for personal reasons. Tight end Marcedes Lewis was given his customary Thursday veteran's day off.
