Claypool (knee) was a limited participant in Tuesday's practice.
Claypool failed to practice in any capacity last week before sitting out the Bears' 25-20 loss to the Eagles on Sunday, so his return to the field in limited fashion as Chicago begins Week 16 prep marks a step in the right direction. The receiver will have two more chances to upgrade to full activity before the Bears potentially give him an injury designation ahead of Saturday's game versus the Bills.
