Overview
- The Bears lost 31-7 to the Packers on Sunday after Jordan Love and Green Bay completed several deep plays and Chicago’s offense coughed up five total turnovers.
- Tyson Bagent was benched late in the third quarter after two interceptions and coach Ben Johnson said the change was made to try to spark the offense.
- Johnson reported Williams practiced in a limited fashion on Friday, described his hamstring recovery as 'on track,' and left open the possibility that Williams could be available next week at Atlanta but has not been cleared to play.
- Analysts say Bagent’s poor showing could reduce his trade value and forces the Bears to reassess quarterback depth if Williams isn’t cleared.
- The rout spotlights coaching and scheme questions after a game in which Chicago managed just 81 rushing yards, and it raises urgency about how the team will handle a short turnaround on the schedule if Williams returns or still needs more time.
