What It Means:

The Bears can't afford to lose Fuller, so it makes sense that they didn't risk pushing through any injury.

Fuller was a bright spot on a bad Bears pass defense last year. Fuller recorded 64 tackles, defended 10 passes, and picked off 4 passes last year. The Bears ranked 27th in schedule-adjusted Defensive Passing Net Expected Points per play last year, which compares a team to expectation-level performance. Our algorithms project Fuller to record 68 tackles, 6 passes defensed, and 2 interceptions in his second season.
