One of the Bears’ most experienced defensive players departed Sunday’s game at San Francisco with a potentially worrisome injury.
Cornerback Charles Tillman will miss the rest of the contest after suffering a right triceps injury on the first drive of the third quarter, NBC’s Michelle Tafoya reported.
The 33-year-old Tillman missed the final eight games of the 2013 season with a torn right triceps. He appeared emotional on the sideline after the latest injury.
A second-round pick in the 2003 draft, Tillman has spent his entire career with Chicago.
Rookie Kyle Fuller replaced Tillman in the lineup.
