Running back Khalil Herbert will play for the first time in six weeks when the Bears play the Lions on Sunday, coach Matt Eberflus said Friday. He’s as thankful as he is eager.
Herbert suffered an ankle injury that looked severe when he awkwardly tried to catch a pass from Justin Fields in a 40-20 victory over the Commanders on Oct. 5 at FedEx Field. To him, missing only five games was fortunate.
