Prince Amukamara insists it’s not difficult.

A-M-U-K-A-M-A-R-A.

“I keep telling everyone: If you sound it out, it’s spelled the way it sounds,” the Bears cornerback said. “It’s only nine letters.”

The nameplate on his jersey, however, had only eight for the start of Sunday’s 34-22 win over the Lions. The second “A” was missing, leaving it as “AMUKMARA.”

Leave it to social media to spotlight a mistake and spread the word. As screengrabs from the Fox telecast started appearing on Twitter, word of the snafu reached the Bears sideline.

Bears equipment manager Tony Medlin made sure it was fixed pronto. Medlin usually harps on Amukamara to pull up his socks and tuck in his shirt. After all, players can be fined by the NFL for uniform violations.

When he called to Amukamara on the sideline in the second quarter Sunday, the cornerback figured it was for something similar.

But Medlin had a new jersey for Amukamara with his name spelled correctly. They did a quick change, which can be problematic because of the way players’ jerseys fit so snugly over their shoulder pads.

“T-Med and the guys did a great job changing on the sideline,” Amukamara said. “Offense was up, so we had some time.”

It was a good thing, too. Amukamara later had an interception and forced a fumble that Adrian Amos recovered. The world saw the correct spelling of his name by then.

Coincidentally, Amukamara’s name was misspelled on his jersey at Soldier Field in 2016 when he played for the Jaguars. That day, he changed jerseys at halftime.

“That’s why we have social media,” Amukamara said with a laugh. “Social media doesn’t miss anything.”

Inactives: Wide receiver Kevin White was inactive for the second straight week after he was held out against the Bills for performance reasons.

Rookie receiver Javon Wims also was a healthy scratch, along with offensive lineman Rashaad Coward, cornerback Marcus Cooper, outside linebacker Kylie Fitts and defensive lineman Nick Williams.

Tight end Dion Sims sat out with a concussion.
