This hasn’t been a good summer for sports hernias in Chicago. The injury is actually a groin-area muscle tissue issue, not an actual hernia, but it still has two Bears sidelined.
Matt Nagy revealed Wednesday that undrafted rookie free agent wide receiver Emanuel Hall underwent sports hernia surgery and is sitting out organized team activities.

Last week, Nagy announced a similar procedure for tight end Trey Burton, who had been dealing with a groin issue since the wildcard loss to the Philadelphia Eagles last year.
The head coach hopes both can be back in time for training camp, but the timeline for offseason injuries can often be hard to predict.
The Missouri receiver struggled with injuries during his college career, which is thought to be why no team used a draft pick to secure his services.
It’s obviously not the start he wanted for his Bears career, but his skills as a vertical threat give him a real opportunity to stick on the 53-man roster, if he can stay healthy.
