McCloud (illness) was a full participant in Tuesday's walkthrough.

McCloud missed Chicago's final two games of the regular season due to an illness, but it looks like he's fully on track to return for Saturday's wild-card round matchup against the Packers. Expect McCloud to handle a rotational role on defense as the primary backup at slot cornerback behind C.J. Gardner-Johnson (concussion).
