Chicago Bears running back Jordan Howard practiced Wednesday, likely prompting sighs of relief from his coaches, teammates, fans of the team, and fantasy owners.

Howard left Sunday's game late in the fourth quarter with what the team said at the time could be an Achilles injury, suggesting it might be a long-term issue.

While the notoriously tight-lipped Bears still haven't described the nature of the injury, it appears it won't hinder him.

"Just happy it's not serious," head coach John Fox told reporters Wednesday, according to Zach Zaidman of the Bears Radio Network.

Howard is expected to remain the team's starting running back - a job made more important by the recent suspension of wide receiver Alshon Jeffery.
