It means nothing official but running back Matt Forte breezed through the Bears locker room early Wednesday, on a break from a workout to get something from his locker but neither limping nor wearing any protective armor on the ankle he injured last Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings.
Best indicator perhaps: Forte was sweated up and wearing his Work horse 22 workout T-shirt.
Whether Forte practices in full, on a limited basis or has the day off will play out Wednesday and the next two days. But the Bears franchise running back in a Work horse top and walking healthy would qualify as a mid-week boost for an offense that needs him.
