Egbuka was able to clear ths concussion protocol last Friday, but he still missed this past Sunday's win against the Falcons due to a foot injury, marking a second absence in a row. Seemingly, Wednesday's bit of running is a test to get a sense of where Egbuka stands, health-wise, so Thursday's session could be revealing for his chances to return to action Sunday at Chicago.
