The veteran offensive lineman was able to log a full practice session Friday after recording a DNP on Thursday, and it now seems as if he's moved past his back issue. Patrick has made 18 appearances for Chicago since signing with the team back in 2022, starting 15 of those games.
Patrick likely suffered his back injury during the first half of today's game, and there's a slim chance that he's able to return. Dan Feeney has stepped in at center on the Bears' offensive line.
Patrick was a late addition to the Bears' injury report with a questionable tag, but he'll be able to suit up in prime time. He's appeared in the team's first seven games of the season.
With Patrick now on the injury report, the Bears may have to shuffle their offensive line more than they already have. Cody Whitehair -- who is the usual starting center -- has shifted to right guard with Nate Davis (ankle) ruled out for Week 8. If Patrick is unable to play, Doug Kramer would fill in at the starting center position.
