Two questionable players ruled inactive
The Bears will be without running back Kyle Monangai and cornerback Malik Muhammad II in Week 9, while cornerback Tyrique Stevenson Sr. is active. All three carried questionable game designations after limited practice participation on November 6. Monangai has thumb and toe injuries, and Muhammad has a toe injury. Stevenson was limited by a thumb injury but remains available. Quarterback Case Keenum, defensive tackle Jayden Loving and linebacker Keyshaun Elliott round out Chicago’s game-day inactive list.
Full participants available

Jackson was listed with an ankle injury, Jarrett with a groin injury and Benedet with a shoulder injury. Guard Joe Thuney and linebacker T.J. Edwards also logged full participation. Thuney’s listing was for rest, while Edwards’ was for a personal matter; neither was injury-related. Running back Zavier Scott did not participate because of a wrist injury and is on injured reserve. Wide receiver Luther Burden III carries a Questionable roster designation.
