DJ Moore DJ Moore No injury designation Fri, Nov 14, 2025, 1:52 PM Moore (shoulder) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Vikings. Analysis: Moore made it back to full practice participation by the end of the week, after not taking part at all on Wednesday. He hurt his shoulder during last week's win over the Giants, briefly exiting the game before returning to a reduced role in the second half. Moore's target rate is just 17.8 percent this year -- his first time ever below 20 percent -- but recent comments from Bears coach Ben Johnson suggest the team is pleased with how Moore has adapted to a role with modest target volume. It could be a different story later this season if a brutal second-half schedule gets the best of the 6-3 Bears.
Rome Odunze Rome Odunze Good to go Fri, Nov 14, 2025, 1:41 PM Odunze (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Vikings. Analysis: Odunze and DJ Moore (shoulder) both have been cleared to play after logging full practices Friday. They should fill their usual roles, with Olamide Zacheeaus working as the No. 3 receiver while Luther Burden subs in for Odunze/Moore at times.
Cole Kmet Cole Kmet Returns to full participation Thu, Nov 13, 2025, 2:32 PM Kmet (back) returned to full practice participation Thursday. Analysis: Kmet upgraded to full participation Thursday after being limited by a back injury Wednesday, putting him on track to suit up Sunday against the Vikings. Rookie first-round pick Colston Loveland has overtaken Kmet as the primary option at tight end in Chicago's passing game.
D'Andre Swift D'Andre Swift Practices in full Thu, Nov 13, 2025, 2:19 PM Swift (hip) was a full participant in Thursday's practice. Analysis: Swift was limited in practice Wednesday, but it's possible that the Bears were simply capping his reps as a precaution. The starting running back returned from a one-game absence due to a groin issue and racked up 98 yards from scrimmage on eight touches versus the Giants in Week 10. Even with the emergence of Kyle Monangai as a reliable backfield option, Swift remains Chicago's clear No. 1 running back and stands to handle a sizeable workload on the road against Minnesota on Sunday.
Rome Odunze Rome Odunze Limited Thursday Thu, Nov 13, 2025, 2:16 PM Odunze (ankle) was limited in practice Thursday. Analysis: Odunze appears to be following a similar practice pattern to the one he's acted out since late October, which would have him participate in full Friday and ultimately avoid an injury designation for Sunday's road matchup against the Vikings. Even if Odunze is limited again Friday, he appears to have a solid shot at being available Week 11. Fellow starting wideout DJ Moore (shoulder) also upgraded to a limited practice Thursday after having been a non-participant Wednesday.
DJ Moore DJ Moore Upgrades to limited practice Thu, Nov 13, 2025, 2:14 PM Moore (shoulder) was limited in practice Thursday. Analysis: Moore missed Wednesday's practice due to the shoulder injury that forced him to briefly exit last week's win over the Giants, though he retook the field early in the third quarter. It's encouraging to see Moore back on the practice field and handling at least limited reps, but if he isn't able to upgrade to a full session Friday, he'll risk carrying an injury designation into Sunday's road contest against the Vikings. Rome Odunze (ankle) also upgraded to a limited practice Thursday after having been sidelined Wednesday.
Cole Kmet Cole Kmet Limited in practice Wednesday Wed, Nov 12, 2025, 3:04 PM Kmet (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice. Analysis: Kmet cleared the concussion protocol in time to suit up for Chicago's comeback win over the Giants in Week 10, but he appears to have sustained an ankle injury during that contest. If the veteran tight end is able to resume handling full reps Thursday and/or Friday, he'll have a solid chance to avoid carrying an injury designation entirely for Sunday's road matchup against the Vikings. Kmet has drawn two or fewer targets in four consecutive appearances, with most routes for the tight end position instead going the way of rookie Colston Loveland.
Rome Odunze Rome Odunze Misses practice Wednesday Wed, Nov 12, 2025, 2:56 PM Odunze (ankle) did not practice Wednesday. Analysis: Odunze has regularly had his reps managed by Chicago to begin practice weeks, so as long as he's able to resume handling at least limited activity during Thursday's session, it will bode well for his odds of gaining clearance for Sunday's road matchup against the Vikings. The second-year pro bounced back with six grabs for 86 yards and a touchdown (10 targets) during the Bears' win over the Giants in Week 10, proving that he retains a valuable fantasy ceiling despite the unpredictable nature of Chicago's passing attack. He had previously been held without a catch Week 9.
DJ Moore DJ Moore Dealing with shoulder issue Wed, Nov 12, 2025, 2:47 PM Moore didn't practice Wednesday due to a shoulder injury. Analysis: Moore briefly exited this past Sunday's win against the Giants due to a shoulder issue but was able to return early in the third quarter. He proceeded to finish with no catches on four targets, his first time getting blanked in the box score since the Panthers made him a first-round pick in the 2018 Draft. Moore will have two more chances to practice this week before the Bears potentially make a ruling on his status for Week 11 action on Friday's injury report.
D'Andre Swift D'Andre Swift Tending to hip issue Wed, Nov 12, 2025, 2:41 PM Swift was limited at Wednesday's practice due to a hip injury. Analysis: Swift previously was dealing with a groin issue that caused him to sit out Week 9 at Cincinnati, but he was able to return this past Sunday and reclaim the No. 1 RB role against the Giants en route to 18 touches for 98 yards from scrimmage, while rookie Kyle Monangai turned seven carries into 28 yards and one TD. With a new health concern in tow for Swift, his status will be one to watch as the week goes on as the Bears prepare for Sunday's game in Minnesota.
Cole Kmet Cole Kmet Limited passing-game involvement Sun, Nov 9, 2025, 9:22 PM Kmet caught one pass for five yards on two targets in the Bears' 24-20 win over the Giants on Sunday. Analysis: Kmet has two or fewer targets in six of eight contests this season and has 16 or fewer yards in each of his last four games. His recent usage leaves him as tight end depth who is difficult to start outside of leagues with very thin options.
Olamide Zaccheaus Olamide Zaccheaus Production dips in victory Sun, Nov 9, 2025, 9:21 PM Zaccheaus caught one pass for five yards on four targets in the Bears' 24-20 win over the Giants on Sunday. Analysis: Zaccheaus has at least four targets in five of nine contests this season but has been held to 42 or fewer yards in all but one of those games. His steady volume but modest yardage keeps him in the deeper-league flex mix when managers need target-based floor plays.
Luther Burden Luther Burden Solid yardage total in win Sun, Nov 9, 2025, 9:20 PM Burden caught three passes for 51 yards on three targets in the Bears' 24-20 win over the Giants on Sunday. Analysis: Burden has posted at least 51 yards in three of eight contests this season and has drawn between one and four targets in every game. His low target volume keeps him a depth fantasy option who is useful mainly as a bench stash in fantasy leagues.
DJ Moore DJ Moore Blanked in Week 10 win Sun, Nov 9, 2025, 5:17 PM Moore didn't catch any of his four targets in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Giants. Analysis: Moore and Rome Odunze traded places after Moore led all Bears wide receivers in receiving yards while Odunze went without a catch in the Week 9 win over the Bengals. Prior to Sunday's goose egg, Moore had at least three catches in every game this season. Chicago's wide receiver room has been hit-or-miss with the Bears leaning more on the ground game lately, but Moore will try to get back on track in Week 11 against the Vikings, just as Odunze did against the Giants.
Colston Loveland Colston Loveland Follows breakout with 55-yard game Sun, Nov 9, 2025, 4:46 PM Loveland caught all four of his targets for 55 yards in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Giants. Analysis: Loveland finished second on the team in receiving yards behind Rome Odunze (86), though this was a substantial step back from Loveland after the rookie first-round pick broke out for 118 yards and two touchdowns in the Week 9 win over the Bengals. Prior to Week 9, Loveland hadn't exceeded 38 receiving yards in a game, but he looks to have surpassed Cole Kmet as the go-to pass catcher among Chicago's tight ends heading into a Week 11 road matchup against the Vikings.
Rome Odunze Rome Odunze Rebounds in Week 10 win Sun, Nov 9, 2025, 4:45 PM Odunze caught six of 10 targets for 86 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Giants. Analysis: Odunze bounced back from a Week 9 goose egg against the Bengals, leading the Bears in targets, catches and receiving yards Sunday. He accounted for Chicago's lone aerial score with a two-yard touchdown catch in the fourth quarter. Odunze could stand to improve his game-to-game consistency, but the 2024 first-round pick leads the Bears across the board with 37 catches, 559 receiving yards and six receiving touchdowns on 69 targets heading into a Week 11 road game against the Vikings.
Caleb Williams Caleb Williams Leads late comeback with two TDs Sun, Nov 9, 2025, 4:43 PM Williams completed 20 of 36 passes for 220 yards and a touchdown while rushing eight times for 63 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Giants. Analysis: Williams struggled for most of a snowy Chicago afternoon but heated up in the last four minutes as the Bears staged a late comeback. He cut Chicago's deficit to 20-17 with 3:56 remaining in the fourth quarter on a two-yard touchdown pass to Rome Odunze, then Williams capped a four-play, 53-yard drive with a go-ahead 17-yard touchdown run just over two minutes later. The 2024 first overall pick has complemented his 13:4 TD:INT through the air in 2025 with the first three rushing touchdowns of his career, as well as a receiving touchdown. Williams has guided the Bears to a 6-3 record heading into a Week 11 road game against the NFC North rival Vikings.
Kyle Monangai Kyle Monangai Gets seven touches to Swift's 18 Sun, Nov 9, 2025, 3:40 PM Monangai rushed seven times for 28 yards and a touchdown while failing to catch his only target in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Giants. Analysis: Monangai broke out for 198 scrimmage yards against the Bengals in Week 9 but was outplayed by D'Andre Swift (groin) in Swift's return from a one-game absence. The rookie seventh-round pick out of Rutgers opened the scoring with an eight-yard touchdown run in the first quarter but was out-touched, 18-7, by Swift. Head coach Ben Johnson may be attempting to replicate the backfield formula he used as the Lions' offensive coordinator the previous couple seasons, with the 5-foot-8, 207-pound Monangai providing power inside a la David Montgomery, while Swift's used in a more versatile role like Jahmyr Gibbs. Swift is still the top option for the Bears, but Monangai should remain involved in Week 11 against the Vikings.
D'Andre Swift D'Andre Swift Reclaims lead role in return Sun, Nov 9, 2025, 3:37 PM Swift (groin/personal) rushed 13 times for 80 yards and caught five of eight targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Giants. Analysis: Swift returned from a one-game absence due to a groin injury and out-touched Kyle Monangai 18-7, retaining the lead role in Chicago's backfield. Monangai scored an eight-yard rushing touchdown in the first quarter, but Swift produced a few highlights of his own on the ground, including a 25-yard scamper and a nine-yard run on fourth-and-2 on the same second-quarter drive. Swift also finished second on the team in targets, so he's well-positioned to maintain a heavy workload regardless of game flow in Week 11 against the Vikings.
Durham Smythe Durham Smythe Active Sunday Sun, Nov 9, 2025, 10:41 AM Smythe (calf) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants. Analysis: Smythe has yet to receive a target this season through eight games and his role in Sunday's contest will likely be a limited one as an additional blocker. The bulk of passing attempts to the tight end position will likely be absorbed by starters Cole Kmet and Colston Loveland.
