Overview

  • Chicago reaches its early bye on a two-game surge with victories over the Cowboys and Raiders, stabilizing after an 0-2 start.
  • Caleb Williams continues to progress in Ben Johnson’s offense, with Rome Odunze emerging as a frequent scorer.
  • Top cornerback Jaylon Johnson remains on injured reserve after groin surgery, while Grady Jarrett, Kyler Gordon, T.J. Edwards and Darnell Wright are candidates to return as soon as Week 6 at Washington.
  • A possible lineup tweak is under consideration with Theo Benedet reportedly in the mix to move to left tackle during the self-scouting window.
  • Run-game inconsistency and run-defense issues persist even as overall play improves, fan confidence has climbed to season highs per SB Nation Reacts polling, and the Nov. 4 trade deadline looms for potential roster moves.
