It didn’t look good when the injury happened, and the immediate fear became how long that Fuller was going to be out with whatever he hurt. But it sounds like the Bears rookie is going to be okay, or at least the injury isn’t as serious as it looked.
According to Ian Rapoport from NFL Network, the MRI on Kyle Fuller doesn’t seem to show any serious damage and the rookie is likely to be back in action by the time the regular season starts.

Rapoport didn’t specifically say that Fuller is going to be ready to go for the start of the season, but an MRI that isn’t serious doesn’t seem like it’s going to be much of a problem for the Bears or for Fuller.
That’s the hope as least, as the Bears need secondary help in 2014 and Fuller is a big part of the future.
