The Chicago Bears are chasing their fourth straight win — yes, you read that right, and it still feels strange to say. A potential four-game winning streak is on the line this Sunday. However, the team got some bad news early Friday when the latest injury report was released. Here’s how it looked:
Friday Injury Report

There are legitimate concerns about Bears running back D’Andre Swift potentially being out, especially after his breakout performance last week against the Washington Commanders. The drop-off in talent behind him is noticeable, as rookie Kyle Monangai and Roschon Johnson have yet to fully earn the coaching staff’s confidence.
On the bright side, Grady Jarrett being listed as questionable is good news for Chicago, and it’ll be interesting to see if Austin Booker or even Travis Homer can return to the field Sunday.
However, ESPN’s Adam Schefter reported Friday evening that the Bears expect both WR DJ Moore and RB D’Andre Swift to play against the Saints. Having Moore available is huge—his toughness often goes underappreciated—but the news on Swift is even bigger. His presence should make it much easier for Chicago to establish the run game as they look to win their fourth straight.
