Chicago Bears wide receiver Allen Robinson is expected to be in the lineup Sunday against the New Orleans Saints after clearing concussion protocol on Saturday, the team announced.

The Bears labeled Robinson doubtful Friday but will now remove him from the injury report.

Robinson suffered the concussion on Monday Night Football in a loss to the Los Angeles Rams to cap Week 7. The 27-year-old leads Chicago in receiving with 44 receptions for 544 yards and two touchdowns.

The Saints will be without their top receiver, Michael Thomas, who continues to nurse a hamstring injury. Thomas hasn't played since Week 1 due to an ankle injury, a disciplinary issue, and the hamstring ailment.
