The Seahawks will officially have running backs Zach Charbonnet and Jadarian Price for Monday Night Football. Both players are active. Charbonnet will make his 2026 debut after returning from a torn ACL that ended his season in the divisional round of the playoffs in January. He set career highs in 2025 with 730 rushing yards and a team-high 12 touchdowns. The Seahawks activated Price from injured reserve on Monday, and he is active for the first time since Week 3, when he injured his chest. He has 32 touches for 140 yards and two fumbles. Offensive guard Quenton Nelson will make his Seattle debut after a trade from Indianapolis this week. He will play left guard with Grey Zabel moving to right guard. The Seahawks won’t have outside linebacker Uchenna Nwosu, who was doubtful with an ankle injury, or back up quarterback Drew Lock, who was questionable with a right elbow injury. Jalen Milroe will backup Sam Darnold, with Lock designated as the emergency third quarterback. Wide receiver Rashid Shaheed (knee), offensive tackle Charles Cross (ankle), running back Velus Jones Jr. (hamstring), nose tackle Brandon Pili (back) and offensive guard Beau Stephens are the team’s other inactives. The Bears won’t have cornerback Malik Muhammad (toe). He was limited in practice and given a questionable injury designation. The Bears’ other inactives are running back Kyle Monangai (thumb/toe), quarterback Case Keenum, defensive tackle Jayden Loving, offensive lineman Jordan McFadden and defensive tackle Jordan van den Berg
The Baltimore quarterback room was decimated on Sunday. With nine days left in the trading period, the Ravens could start looking for help elsewhere. Starter Lamar Jackson is heading to injured reserve with a thumb injury that could end his season. Backup Tyler Huntley has a toe injury; its severity is to be determined. One name to watch, as mentioned on Football Night in America, is Tyson Bagent. Ravens offensive coordinator Declan Doyle had that same position last year in Chicago. And the Bears have three quarterbacks. Bagent has a $4 million salary in 2026, and a $4.25 million compensation package in 2027. The Bears also have Case Keenum under contract, behind Caleb Williams. The Ravens, we’re told, may explore the possibility of acquiring Bagent. We’re also told that it won’t be cheap to get him. That’s how it goes when a team develops an in-season need for a quarterback. The price goes up, as reflected by the urgency of the effort to find a replacement. If Huntley will miss time, the Ravens need to do something. The only other quaterback on the roster is Joe Fagnone, who played after Jackson and Huntley were hurt. The Ravens have no quarterbacks on the practice squad. Diego Pavia was on the 90-man roster in the offseason; he was cut just before the opening of training camp. Austin Reed was later signed to the roster during camp, after Skylar Thompson was placed on injured reserve
The Chicago Bears are planning to start quarterback Caleb Williams on Sunday against the Atlanta Falcons , according to multiple reports . Williams missed three games due to a torn hamstring and this week was able to return to practice at full capacity and took the starter's reps. He is officially listed as questionable for their Week 6 game, but a full week of practice showed he was trending in the right direction. Before going down with his injury, Williams played in two games: a 59-37 win over the Carolina Panthers and a 9-3 loss to the Minnesota Vikings , the game where he suffered the torn hamstring. He had a 65.6 completion percentage, 407 yards, two touchdowns and one interception in his two appearances. Williams reposted a compilation video on TikTok earlier on Saturday that had many believing he was celebrating his return. The video starts with a compilation of criticisms of how he reacted to his injury, followed by a message from a fictional character from the Chicago-based show "The Bear," who says, "I think that flicked a switch in me where I was like, f--- you. Watch this." The video then goes into highlights of Williams playing. Caleb Williams reposted this TikTok He might go off on Sunday 😳 pic.twitter.com/6UVgluc3Fx The 24-year-old has openly criticized how people have reacted to his injury. When he was carted off, Williams gave a thumbs-up and raised his fist, which, to many, made it seem like the injury was very severe. Shortly after, there were reports that Williams may not miss a game. Williams feels his "character has been attacked" and said to the media this week , "It was a hamstring tear and a pretty serious one. We got a grade, but I wouldn't say it's deserved to be put out there after all the false ones. So next question." In his absence, the Bears have leaned on Tyson Bagent and Case Keenum , who were able to record two wins of the three games without their starter. Chicago is coming off a 31-7 loss to the Green Bay Packers . In Week 5's loss, head coach Ben Johnson benched Bagent for Keenum after Bagent went 12-of-21 with 87 yards, two picks and no touchdowns. Keenum didn't fare much better, going 11-of-19 with 108 yards, one interception and no touchdowns. Getting Williams back should be a big boost for the Bears offense, as they sit at 3-2 in a difficult division where the race is close and the top team, the Vikings , have yet to lose. Williams was drafted as the top pick in the 2024 draft and helped lead the team to the playoffs in his second season with the team. He did not miss a game in his first two seasons
Bears head coach Ben Johnson hasn’t named a starting quarterback for Week 6 yet, but it continues to look like it could be Caleb Williams making his return against the Falcons. Williams has missed the last three games with a hamstring injury, but he returned to practice as a limited participant last Friday. The Bears will only hold a walkthrough on Wednesday and Johnson told reporters at a press conference that Williams will be listed as a full participant on their estimated practice report. Johnson said things are “still fluid” when it comes to who will start against the Falcons, but Williams remaining full once the team moves to a normal practice later this week would seem to be a good sign for his chances of playing this weekend. Tyson Bagent and Case Keenum have handled the quarterback work in Williams’s absence
The Bears hope to have Caleb Williams back for Sunday’s game against the Falcons. Williams has missed the past three games due to a hamstring injury. “He’s doing a great job progressing, and we’ll see when we can make him available to help us win ball games,” coach Ben Johnson said, via Courtney Cronin of ESPN. “But he’s itching to get back as soon as he can, which is a good thing, and when we get the green light, we’ll move forward from there.” Johnson said the Bears have not determined who will take first-team snaps at Wednesday’s practice or who will start if it’s not Williams. Case Keenum replaced Tyson Bagent late in Sunday’s loss to the Packers. The two quarterbacks combined for no touchdowns and three interceptions. “There are a lot of things that we’re assessing right now,” Johnson said. He added that he believes the Bears have “three guys that can win games in this league.”
The Bears benched Tyson Bagent for Case Keenum, but not soon enough. The two quarterbacks combined for no touchdowns and three interceptions in a 31-7 loss to the Packers. The Bears were 2-0 in the first two games Caleb Williams missed with a hamstring injury. The team’s starting quarterback is making a push to play in Week 6 against the Falcons. He was questionable to play Sunday and went through a workout before the game. Bears coach Ben Johnson confirmed postgame that Williams is nearing a return but didn’t commit to the quarterback playing next week. “He’s on track,” Johnson said. “We’ll see if that’s Atlanta or after. I think it’s going to be close.” The Bears are 3-2 and two games behind the Vikings in the NFC North
Bears quarterback Tyson Bagent has been benched in Sunday’s matchup with the Packers. After Bagent threw his second interception of the game, Case Keenum has come in at quarterback early in the fourth quarter. Bagent’s day ends with him having completed 12-of-21 passes for 87 yards with the two interceptions. He was generally ineffective all game, with the Packers’ defense coming up with several big plays to keep the Bears off the scoreboard. While Chicago’s possession started at the Green Bay 31 after a big kick return, the team wasn’t able to score, as Keenum didn’t do much differently than Bagent — throwing an interception on fourth-and-goal from the 9
The Chicago Bears head to Lambeau Field to take on the Green Bay Packers in a Sunday NFL Week 5 matchup as both teams look to stay within striking distance of the 4-0 Minnesota Vikings in the NFC North. The Bears (3-1) have won consecutive games despite relying on backup quarterbacks, while Green Bay (2-2) managed a sloppy 17-14 victory at Tampa Bay last Sunday. Bears vs. Packers is set to kick off at 1 p.m. ET, and Chicago is a 1.5-point road favorite at DraftKings Sportsbook, and the Over/Under for total points scored is 47.5.

It's been a strange few weeks for the Bears, but they have kept winning despite starting quarterback Caleb Williams going down with a hamstring injury in their only loss. That ugly 9-3 setback to the Vikings in Week 2 followed an offensive onslaught against the Panthers in the opener. Chicago won that one 59-37 behind 267 passing yards, 65 rushing yards and four total TDs from Williams. Case Keenum and Tyson Bagent have started the past two games, with the veteran Keenum throwing for 247 yards in a win against the Eagles and Bagent, who should start Sunday, throwing for 268 last week as Chicago beat the Jets . Caleb Williams (hamstring) was limited on Friday and is questionable, but Bagent is still seen as likely to start. The Bears keep winning because they can run the ball against almost anyone, as they average an NFL-best 196.3 yards on the ground. Running backs Kyle Monangai (314 yards) and D'Andre Swift (311) lead the attack, and receivers Rome Odunze , Kalif Raymond and Luther Burden III all have more than 200 receiving yards. Monangai is out for this week, however. The Bears lead the NFL in total offense at 429 yards per game and score 28 points per contest (ninth). Defensively, Chicago is third overall, allowing 282.3 yards per game, and opponents are averaging just 16.3 points, fourth-fewest in the league. The Packers are minus-2 in turnover margin while Chicago has six takeaways and is plus-1. Dayo Odeyingbo has led the way up front, posting three of the team's 11 sacks, while fellow ends Austin Booker and Montez Sweat have two apiece. The Bears have covered the spread in three of their four games after going 12-7 ATS last season, including the playoffs. They beat the Packers 31-27 in the Wild Card Round before losing to the Rams in the Divisional Round. Chicago has gone Under the game total in three of four this year after going 9-10 to the Over in 2025.

The Bucs started Jalon Daniels at quarterback, and the undrafted rookie free agent threw for 148 yards and ran for 55 but threw two interceptions. Green Bay is 23rd in the league in scoring defense, yielding 26.3 points per game. The defense doesn't give up huge yardage and actually ranks fourth in the league against the pass (185 yards per game). The bad news for Sunday is that the Packers allow 139.3 rushing yards per game and the Bears have the best run game in the league. They did hold Tampa Bay's running backs to 86 yards on 23 carries last week, but they won't be facing Bucky Irving and Sean Tucker this week. Green Bay's offense went just 2-of-10 on third-down conversions in last week's victory, but they did ru

The Chicago Bears (3-1) face the Green Bay Packers (2-2) in NFL Week 5. The Bears have relied on backup quarterbacks Case Keenum and Tyson Bagent due to starter Caleb Williams' hamstring injury. Williams is questionable for the game. The Bears lead the NFL in rushing offense, averaging 196.3 yards per game. DraftKings lists Chicago as a 3-point road favorite with an Over/Under of 45.5
It's Week 5 of the 2026 NFL regular season, and we have another exciting slate of games, plus some under-the-radar matchups I think everyone should be paying more attention to. Last week, all three of my underrated games turned out to be worth a watch. First, in one of my highlighted games of the week, we saw one of the few remaining undefeated teams get handed their first L, when the Las Vegas Raiders lost to the Kansas City Chiefs in a close divisional battle. Another of my underrated games was the battle between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Los Angeles Rams , which turned out to be a close game, with the Rams pulling off a near-impossible comeback to win 24-20. The third and final of my spotlighted games last week was the game that put the New York Giants in first place in the NFC East for the first time since 2015. So now it's once again that time to dive into why some of the less talked-about contests should be on your radar. Sunday, Oct. 11 at 1 p.m. ET on Fox, stream on fubo The Chicago Bears and Green Bay Packers are two of the oldest franchises with one of the most storied rivalries in NFL history, which always makes this one a good watch. The rivalry has certainly changed over the years, and I'm intrigued by how it will continue to evolve in this era of the teams. Both teams have their long-term answer at QB in Jordan Love for the Packers and Caleb Williams for the Bears, so this new-look rivalry should only get more interesting as these two continue to see each other more. This week, however, the Bears' side will have a different player at the helm, with Williams still out due to a hamstring injury. Chicago has been a fascinating team to watch this season. With their win against the New York Jets last week, they became the first NFL team in 30 years to win three games in the first four weeks of the season with three different quarterbacks. If you told me the Bears would start Caleb Williams, Case Keenum and Tyson Bagent and only one of those QBs would record a loss through the first four weeks, I would be shocked to find out Williams was the one with an L. Head coach Ben Johnson has shown he can operate his offense regardless of who is throwing passes and I'm curious whether that will be kept up against the 2-2 Packers, who have home field advantage. Sunday, Oct. 11 at 1 p.m. ET on Fox, stream on fubo The Minnesota Vikings are one of three undefeated teams remaining in the league, but you wouldn't necessarily know it from their numbers. Their offense needs work, having scored only one touchdown in the last three games and ranking last in passing yards (709). The 1-3 New Orleans Saints are coming off an ugly loss to the resurgent Atlanta Falcons and will be looking to erase the memory of that 45-24 defeat. The Saints don't have much longer to get things together and turn their season around, so they could have an extra boost against a Vikings team that isn't without cracks. These teams are very different in their strengths and weaknesses, which I expect will make for an interesting matchup. Both have major things to work on, and while it may seem like the Vikings can give up a loss with less of a hit than the Saints could, their divisions make that conversation a bit more nuanced. The Vikings are just ahead of the 3-1 Bears, and the 2-2 Packers and Detroit Lions are capable teams as of late, while the AFC South tends to be a division with more struggle. The Panthers and Falcons have the best record at 2-2 each, and while they're playing well, they haven't proven consistency in the past. The Tampa Bay Buccaneers are 1-4 after Thursday's win over the Cowboys. New Orleans could see itself tied for the best record in their division with a win this week, which seems surprising, considering it is going into the game with just one win. Sunday, Oct. 11 at 1 p.m. ET on CBS, streaming on Paramount+ OK, you may think you're reading a misprint here, or that I've completely lost the plot putting two winless tea
