Muhammad (toe) is inactive for Monday's game against the Seahawks.
Muhammad injured his toe in the Bears' Week 7 win over the Patriots. The cornerback's three consecutive limited practice sessions during Week 8 prep were evidently not enough to suit up, and the reserve option will be sidelined for Monday Night Football. Josh Blackwell and Clark Phillips are set to be the reserve options at outside cornerback for the game.

Bears' Malik Muhammad: Good to go against Minnesota
Rotowire
Muhammad (ankle) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's NFC North clash against the Vikings.
Muhammad was limited in practice by an ankle injury earlier in the week, but he shed an injury designation for Week 2 after practicing in full Friday.

Bears' Malik Muhammad: Working through ankle injury
Rotowire
Muhammad (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
The rookie fourth-round defensive back may have tweaked his ankle during the Bears' 59-37 win over the Panthers in Week 1, when he logged three tackles (two solo) and two pass defenses (including an interception). Muhammad will have two more opportunities to log a full practice and avoid an injury designation for the Bears' NFC North tilt against the Vikings on Sunday.
