Newly acquired Chicago Bears wide receiver Chase Claypool picked up a knee injury on Sunday against the Packers after making a catch during the second quarter. The good news is Claypool returned to the game in the third quarter, which is great news considering the injury looked much worse when it happened.

Claypool went down after a hit from Rasul Douglas and reached at his knee, visibly in pain. He was able to limp off the field under his own power and headed into the Bears' medical tent, via Brad Briggs.

To make matters worse, Claypool fumbled on the play in reaction to sustaining the injury. After sustaining the injury, Claypool immediately grabbed for his knee, losing control of the football in the process, resulting in a Packers turnover.

It looked like a big blow for the Bears, who were certainly more worried about Claypool's well-being than the turnover. Losing the big-bodied wide receiver would have been a major blow for an offense that is already without Darnell Mooney for the rest of the season and has relied heavily upon Justin Fields' ability to make plays with his legs.

After exiting the medical tent, Claypool was seen testing his knee out on the sideline, but he quickly went back into the tent with the medical staff.

Chase Claypool was not on the field for the Bears' next offensive series against the Packers, but he wound up back in the third quarter. It's good to see Claypool able to return to the game on Sunday and try to help Justin Fields and the rest of the offense in the rivalry showdown against the Packers.
