The Bear’s Den: Both Bears and New England Patriots have injuries

The Chicago Bears will be hosting the New England Patriots Thursday night at Soldier Field, and both teams are quite banged up. If anything, the Patriots list is a bit longer than the good guys is.

The best news is that Caleb Williams is entirely off the list as of Monday. Unfortunately, some key players would have been out of practice on Monday (had there been one).
