Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson expects to make his return from a hamstring injury in Sunday's game against the Green Bay Packers.

The 28-year-old one-time Pro Bowler has missed the past three games for the Bears due to a hamstring injury sustained on November 8 in the 29-27 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

The Bears have lost six of their past seven games, including going down 33-22 to the Arizona Cardinals on Sunday, with Robinson's absence not helping.

"That's the plan," Robinson told reporters on Thursday when asked about returning to play. "Everything is trending in the right direction."

Robinson has endured a difficult season, troubled by an ankle complaint and managing only 30 receptions for 339 yards for one touchdown in nine games.

"Seasons like this are tough," Robinson said. "They're extremely tough.

"But being able to compartmentalize all of it, putting certain things to the side and trying to focus on the main thing, continuing to improve, figuring out how to get better, figuring out how to possibly change the result and figuring out how to continue to put yourself in a position to ultimately do what you want to do, and that's win the game. It's tough when you have seasons like this. But again, the season's not over."

The Bears, who are 4-8, are likely to also get quarterback Justin Fields back after missing two games with broken ribs.
