Chicago Bears wide receiver D.J. Moore and running back D'Andre Swift did not participate in practice for the second straight day on Thursday due to their respective quad injuries.

While Moore and Swift were unable to practice on Thursday, wide receiver Keenan Allen was a full participant after missing Wednesday's session with an ankle injury.

The Bears (4-8) are mired in a six-game losing skid heading into Sunday's game against the San Francisco 49ers (5-7) in Santa Clara, Calif.

Moore leads the team in catches (62) and receiving yards (663). He is tied with Allen in receiving touchdowns with five.

Swift, in turn, leads the Bears in carries (179) and rushing yards (704). His five rushing touchdowns are one shy of Roschon Johnson for the team lead.

Johnson (concussion) also sat out practice on Thursday. Should both Swift and Johnson be unable to play versus the 49ers, Travis Homer would be in line for a bigger workload. He has three carries for 16 yards on the season.

Veteran tight end Marcedes Lewis (rest), defensive back Elijah Hicks (ankle) and offensive lineman Ryan Bates (concussion) also did not participate in practice for the second straight day on Thursday.

Offensive lineman Darnell Wright (knee) was upgraded from limited to a full participant on Thursday.
