Overview

  • Kickoff is Sunday at 4:25 p.m. ET in Chicago, with Dallas a slight favorite (around -1 to -1.5) against the 0-2 Bears.
  • Chicago could be without Pro Bowl corner Jaylon Johnson, who may need season-ending groin surgery, as Kyler Gordon (hamstring) and LB T.J. Edwards (hamstring) remain week to week.
  • Dallas placed rookie center Cooper Beebe on injured reserve with a foot injury (expected out 6–8 weeks) and signed DE Jadeveon Clowney, whose Week 3 availability is unclear; CBs DaRon Bland (foot) and Trevon Diggs (illness) missed Wednesday practice.
  • The Cowboys are coming off a 40-37 overtime win over the Giants behind Dak Prescott’s hot start, while the Bears have surrendered 79 points in two games, including a 52-21 loss at Detroit.
  • Former Chicago head coach Matt Eberflus faces his old team as Dallas defensive coordinator, with the Lamb–Pickens receiving duo set to test an injury-thin Bears secondary.
