Bears receiver Anthony Miller can't bear to watch as kicker Cody Parkey takes the field to attempt a game winning field goal during their NFC wild-card matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles Sunday at Soldier Field in Chicago. — Mark Busch - mbusch@shawmedia.com

One of the more underrated aspects of the Bears' 2018 breakthrough was their luck on the health front, where they led the NFL in fewest players on season-ending injured reserve (4) — a sea change after Chicago was among the league's most banged-up clubs in the previous two seasons under John Fox.

Only one player — rookie WR Anthony Miller — is currently set for offseason surgery, GM Ryan Pace confirmed at the Bears' season-ending news conference Monday. Miller first dislocated his left shoulder in Week 3, costing him one game, but aggravated the injury in the regular-season finale in Minnesota. He returned the next week for the Bears' season-ending wild-card defeat to the Philadelphia Eagles.
