Bears coach Matt Eberflus said he didn't see the injury, which
happened late in the practice. Eberflus didn't have an update on
the severity.
Dozier was signed as a free agent in March. He is slated to
battle for the starting right guard position.
The 31-year-old has played with the New York Jets (2014-18) and
Minnesota Vikings (2019-21). He started all 16 games with the
Vikings in 2020.
Dozier has made 27 career starts in 76 games played. He was a
fourth-round pick out of Furman by the Jets in the 2014 draft.
Meanwhile, defensive end Robert Quinn was a no-show to the
mandatory mini-camp. He's hoping for a richer contract after
setting the franchise single-season record of 18.5 sacks last
season, breaking the mark of legendary Richard Dent (17.5 in
1984).
"We hoped he would be here," Eberflus said. "He's not. (General
manager) Ryan (Poles) and his staff are gonna work through
that."
Quinn, 32, has three seasons remaining on a five-year, $70
million contract.
