Head coach Matt LaFleur said Lazard (ankle) will return to practice Wednesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.
Lazard sat out last Sunday's loss to Minnesota due to an ankle injury that he sustained when he got stepped on in practice between the final week of the preseason and the week leading up to the season opener. His absence was felt in the Week 1 loss, but getting back on the field Wednesday puts him on a path to suiting up this Sunday versus the Bears. Lazard's activity level will become known later Wednesday.
