Chicago Bears linebacker Khalil Mack may miss his second consecutive game, a source tells NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport.
Mack was listed as questionable with an ankle injury after missing last weekend’s win over the Jets. He hopes to work out before today’s game against the Bills in Buffalo, but the team isn’t counting on him playing.
In six games this season, the fifth-year pass-rusher has 20 tackles, five sacks, four forced fumbles and an interception.
