Bears C Lucas Patrick exits practice with apparent injury

Chicago Bears starting center Lucas Patrick left practice Thursday with an apparent injury.

Patrick, who turns 29 on Saturday, walked off the field with trainers before taking a cart to the locker room.

He signed a two-year, $8 million contract with the Bears in March that includes $4 million guaranteed in 2022.

Patrick played his first five NFL seasons with the Green Bay Packers, starting 34 of 73 games from 2017-21.
