Cairo Santos Cairo Santos Misses field goal in win
Mon, Oct 19, 2026, 9:52 PM
Santos made one of his two field-goal attempts and all four PATs in the Bears' 31-23 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
Analysis: Santos missed a 56-yard field-goal attempt in the second quarter before redeeming himself with a 50-yard make in the fourth quarter. The kicker is now 8-for-11 on field-goal attempts and a perfect 18-for-18 on PATs over six regular-season games in 2026. |
Dealing with hip injury
Mon, Oct 19, 2026, 9:39 PM
Jackson is dealing with a hip flexor, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Jackson picked up the injury during Sunday's win over the Falcons and is now considered week-to-week. If he ends up being unable to play in Thursday's matchup versus the Patriots, Luke Newman would be in line to start at right guard. |

Trending towards suiting up Thursday
Mon, Oct 19, 2026, 7:50 PM
Elliott (quadriceps) was estimated as a full participant on the Bears' official injury report Monday.
Analysis: Elliott has sat out Chicago's last two games due to a quad injury, but it looks like he's on track to return to the field in Week 7 versus the Patriots. All 56 of the rookie's snaps so far this season have come on special teams. |

Looking good for Thursday
Mon, Oct 19, 2026, 7:26 PM
Stevenson (hip) was estimated as a full participant on the Bears' official injury report Monday.
Analysis: Chicago's practice Monday was only a walk-through session, but Stevenson seems to be trending in the right direction ahead of Thursday's game versus the Patriots. Barring any setbacks, he projects to occupy one of the Bears' starting spots at cornerback in Week 7. |

Still dealing with hamstring injury
Mon, Oct 19, 2026, 7:21 PM
Edwards (hamstring) was estimated as a non-participant on the Bears' official injury report Monday.
Analysis: Chicago only held a walk-through practice Monday, but the team estimated that Edwards would have been sidelined had it been a full-speed session. He'll probably have to practice Tuesday or Wednesday to have a realistic chance of suiting up Thursday versus the Patriots. |
Kyle Monangai Kyle Monangai Listed as DNP on practice estimate
Mon, Oct 19, 2026, 7:05 PM
Monangai (thumb/toe) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated injury report.
Analysis: After missing the last two games due to thumb and turf toe injuries, Monangai wasn't able to participate in Monday's walkthrough, indicating that a third straight absence is possible this week. Head coach Ben Johnson told Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com on Friday that Monangai remains week-to-week but will avoid injured reserve, so if the running back is inactive Thursday against the Patriots, he may be aiming to return in Week 8 at Seattle on Monday, Nov. 2. As long as Monangai is sidelined, D'Andre Swift will lead the Bears backfield, with Roschon Johnson in a complemtary role. |

Stellar performance in 2026 debut
Mon, Oct 19, 2026, 6:27 PM
Gordon posted four solo tackles, including 3.0 sacks, and two forced fumbles during the Bears' 31-23 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
Analysis: Gordon was cleared to make his 2026 debut Sunday after fully recovering from a calf injury stemming from the offseason. He played only 17 of 46 defensive snaps (41.5 percent), but he was the most impactful Bears defender. Two of his three sacks on Michael Penix resulted in fumbles, the second of which was recovered by Chicago late in the fourth quarter to seal the win. The Bears will operate on short rest in their Week 7 tilt against the Patriots on Thursday, so it wouldn't be surprising if Gordon operates under a snap count for at least one more game. |
Jahdae Walker Jahdae Walker Ejected from Week 6 win
Mon, Oct 19, 2026, 1:44 PM
Walker went without a target while playing 10 of the Bears' 77 snaps on offense in Sunday's 31-23 win over the Falcons.
Analysis: Walker's afternoon came to an end just after the start of the fourth quarter, when he was ejected for headbutting a Falcons player at the end of a kickoff return. He was assessed his second 15-yard penalty of the day as a result, with his first coming on a roughing-the-kicker charge back in the third quarter. Walker will remain a key part of the Bears' special-teams units heading into a Week 7 matchup with the Patriots, but he's buried on the depth chart at receiver and isn't likely to see extended playing time on offense anytime soon. |
Rome Odunze Rome Odunze Quiet day despite QB's success
Mon, Oct 19, 2026, 4:21 AM
Odunze brought in three of four targets for 39 yards in the Bears' 31-23 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
Analysis: Odunze was third in receiving yards for the Bears on the afternoon, but considering Caleb Williams recorded 30 completions for 305 yards, the wideout's numbers were modest. Odunze has three or fewer catches in all but one game to date in 2026, and his spotty efficiency can sometimes be a hindrance to him maximizing his fantasy potential. Odunze will look to build on his numbers in a Week 7 home matchup against a talented Patriots secondary Thursday night. |
Colston Loveland Colston Loveland Narrowly misses two-TD day
Mon, Oct 19, 2026, 3:45 AM
Loveland brought in six of seven targets for 65 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 31-23 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
Analysis: Loveland certainly had a productive afternoon overall, but it could have been even bigger had he and Caleb Williams been able to connect on a late second-quarter pass in the left portion of the end zone. Prior to that, the talented tight end recorded a 14-yard scoring grab in tight coverage with 8:15 remaining in the first quarter to put the first points of the day on the board. Loveland's put together a pair of six-catch efforts in the last three games that serve as his most useful of the season thus far, and he'll look to build on his 19-175-1 line on 30 targets in a Week 7 home matchup against the Patriots on Thursday night. |
Luther Burden III Luther Burden III Remains busy in Week 6 win
Mon, Oct 19, 2026, 3:38 AM
Burden secured all eight targets for 95 yards in the Bears' 31-23 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
Analysis: Burden led the Bears in receptions, receiving yards and targets on an afternoon where the returning Caleb Williams threw for 305 yards and just six incompletions. The speedy second-year wideout was the returning signal-caller's favorite target, as the duo quickly rekindled their connection. Burden has made good on the elevated Year 2 expectations to date in 2026, posting a 31-361-1 line on 43 targets over the first six games as a Week 7 home matchup against the Patriots approaches Thursday night. |
Roschon Johnson Roschon Johnson Totals 85 yards, TD in Week 6 win
Sun, Oct 18, 2026, 7:55 PM
Johnson rushed 13 times for 51 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 31-23 win over the Falcons. He caught both of his targets for 34 yards.
Analysis: With Kyle Monangai (toe) still sidelined, Johnson played 31 offensive snaps behind D'Andre Swift's 45. Johnson actually led the team in rushing, edging out Swift's 44 yards on the ground. Both running backs found the end zone, with Swift scoring a pair of touchdowns on the ground on 16 carries. With Monangai out the last two weeks, Johnson has totaled 125 yards and a score on 27 combined carries and targets. He's got fantasy playability for as long as Monangai is out. |

Doubtful to return to Sunday's game
Sun, Oct 18, 2026, 2:39 PM
Jackson (hip) is doubtful to return to Sunday's game against the Falcons.
Analysis: Jackson suffered a hip injury in the third quarter. The right guard will likely not return to the contest and has been replaced by Luke Newman. |

Returns to Sunday's game
Sun, Oct 18, 2026, 1:26 PM
Lewis returned to Sunday's game against the Falcons, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Analysis: An independent neurologist evaluated Lewis and cleared him of any potential concussion symptoms. The defensive back is now back at safety for the Bears. |
|
Exits with potential concussion
Sun, Oct 18, 2026, 1:02 PM
Lewis (head) is being evaluated for a potential concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Falcons.
Analysis: Lewis exited the second quarter of Sunday's game with a head injury. If the defensive back is deemed to have a concussion, he will be ruled out for the remainder of the contest. |
Tyson Bagent Tyson Bagent Chicago's backup for Week 6
Sun, Oct 18, 2026, 11:08 AM
With Caleb Williams (hamstring) active, Tyson Bagent will serve as the Bears' backup quarterback against the Falcons on Sunday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Williams missed Chicago's last three games due to a torn right hamstring, but the third-year pro has been cleared to return for Sunday's road game. As such, Bagent will revert to backup duties while Case Keenum (coach's decision, inactive) serves as the emergency third quarterback. |
Case Keenum Case Keenum Emergency QB3 for Week 6
Sun, Oct 18, 2026, 11:02 AM
Keenum (coach's decision) is inactive but will serve as the Bears' emergency third quarterback against the Falcons on Sunday.
Analysis: With Caleb Williams (hamstring) officially cleared to return from a three-game absence, head coach Ben Johnson has opted to go with Tyson Bagent as the Bears' backup. As the emergency QB3, Keenum won't play against Atlanta on Sunday unless both Willams and Bagent leave the game due to injury, illness or ejection. |

Cleared to make 2026 debut
Sun, Oct 18, 2026, 11:01 AM
Gordon (calf) is active for Sunday's game against Atlanta.
Analysis: Gordon was activated from the Bears' reserve/PUP list Saturday, and the 2022 second-rounder has been given the green light to suit up for the first time this season. His return is a timely one, given that fellow defensive back Tyrique Stevenson (hip) is inactive for Sunday's contest. |

Inactive against Atlanta
Sun, Oct 18, 2026, 10:59 AM
Stevenson (hip) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Falcons.
Analysis: Stevenson was limited in practice all week by a hip injury, which is severe enough for the fourth-year defensive back to be sidelined for Sunday's contest. The good news for the Bears is that Kyler Gordon (calf) has been cleared to make his 2026 debut, but in Stevenson's absence, Malik Muhammad should continue to operate in an elevated role in the Bears' secondary. Stevenson's next chance to play is Thursday against the Patriots. |
Caleb Williams Caleb Williams Active for Week 6
Sun, Oct 18, 2026, 10:46 AM
Williams (hamstring) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Falcons.
Analysis: It was reported Saturday that Williams was on track to both suit up and start Sunday in Week 6, and it is now official that he will be in uniform. While his starting assignment hasn't officially been confirmed, Case Keenum was designated as Chicago's third quarterback Sunday and Tyson Bagent is the only other signal-caller on the roster, so all signs point to Williams opening the contest under center. |
