The Bears also had the option to activate running back Khalil Herbert, but he had been listed as questionable for the game. He will not play on Thursday, but could return for the team’s next game.
Stevenson had been dealing with an ankle injury during the week, and may be limited if he does indeed suit up for the contest.
