The Bears’ injured list is long. Here’s a rundown after practice Tuesday:

Wide receiver Eddie Royal, tight end Zach Miller and cornerback Jacoby Glenn are still recovering from concussion­s. All three were in full equipment, but they were wearing red noncontact jerseys.

Outside linebacker Leonard Floyd ( hamstring), defensive end Cornelius Washington ( knee, ankle) and running back Ka’Deem Carey ( concussion) practiced in some capacity.

Outside linebacker Pernell McPhee ( knee, physically unable- to- perform list) continued to run and train with the medical staff.

Right guard Kyle Long ( shoulder), running back Jeremy Langford ( foot), linebacker­s Danny Trevathan ( hamstring) and Nick Kwiatkoski ( hamstring), cornerback Bryce Callahan ( hamstring) and tight end Tony Moeaki ( hamstring) worked with trainers.

Coach John Fox was asked if he thinks Long will be ready by Week 1.

“It doesn’t really matter what I think,” Fox said. “There are medical people involved, and when he’s cleared, he’ll play.”

Rookie tight end Ben Braunecker ( ankle) returned to practice for the first time since getting injured early on in Bourbonnai­s. Running back Senorise Perry ( hamstring) also returned.

Special- teamer Lamin Barrow left practice be- cause of a foot injury. Kick returner Deonte Thompson ( ankle), safety Deon Bush ( undisclose­d injury) and cornerback Kyle Fuller ( knee) sat out. Bush was evaluated for an apparent head injury against the Patriots but returned.

Missing rookies

Rookie defensive end Jonathan Bullard, the third- round pick from Florida, has missed consecutiv­e practices.

Fox said Bullard remains excused for personal reasons. He didn’t participat­e in practice Sunday or Tuesday. The team was off Monday.

Asked if Bullard’s situation would prevent him from playing Saturday against the Chiefs, Fox said, “More than likely not.”

Cornerback Deiondre’ Hall left practice early after vomiting on the field. Wide receiver Kieren Duncan and linebacker Jarrett Grace also sat out with illnesses.

“A little bit of a bug going around,” Fox said.

Game- day schedule

The Bears’ practices are scheduled this week as if Saturday’s exhibition, which is at noon, were a typical Sunday game in the regular season.

“The more you can expose guys to scheduling [ and] kind of what you’re expecting in the preparatio­n, I think the better,” Fox said.
