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.
Overview
- 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.
