Overview

• Kickoff is set for 8:15 p.m. ET at Northwest Stadium in Landover, Maryland, with the game on ABC and national radio coverage on SiriusXM channels 228 (Commanders) and 227 (Bears).
• Sportsbooks list Washington around -5.5 with a total near 49.5–50, per BetMGM and DraftKings.
• Terry McLaurin (quad) and Noah Brown (groin/knee) are out and Deebo Samuel is doubtful with a heel issue, tightening targets for Jayden Daniels, who returned from a knee sprain in Week 5 and lauded Luke McCaffrey’s growth.
• Chicago names Caleb Williams the starter and comes off a bye on a two-game win streak, with 11 players on the injury report but multiple full participants expected to be available.
• Washington leads the NFL in rushing at roughly 155 yards per game, boosted by rookie Jacory Croskey‑Merritt’s recent breakout, against a Bears defense that has struggled to stop the run.
