Bears and 49ers Grapple with Injuries Ahead of Week 14 Matchup
Chicago faces uncertainty over key offensive players, while San Francisco deals with notable absences on both offense and defense.
- Bears wide receiver D.J. Moore and running back D’Andre Swift missed their second consecutive practice due to quad injuries, leaving their availability for Sunday uncertain.
- Keenan Allen, Chicago's second-leading receiver, returned to full practice participation after an ankle injury, offering some relief to the team’s depleted offense.
- San Francisco 49ers are also managing significant injuries, including Pro Bowl defensive end Nick Bosa and left tackle Trent Williams, who have yet to return to practice.
- Both teams’ backfields are strained, with the 49ers losing Christian McCaffrey to a likely season-ending injury and the Bears potentially relying on Travis Homer if Swift and Roschon Johnson remain unavailable.
- The Bears, under interim head coach Thomas Brown, aim to end a six-game losing streak in Sunday’s game at Levi’s Stadium in Santa Clara, California.
