Frequently Asked Questions
What injury did Jonah Jackson suffer against the Falcons?
Jonah Jackson left Sunday's game in Atlanta with a hip injury. Initial projections indicated he would miss time, with the short turnaround for Thursday night's game against the Patriots working against him.
Is Jonah Jackson going to play against the New England Patriots?
After not practicing Monday, Jackson was limited Tuesday, then returned to practice without restrictions — a strong indication he feels healthy enough to play. It remains to be seen just how healthy he truly is heading into Thursday night.
Why is the New England Patriots defense so dangerous this season?
The Patriots have a strong interior defensive line led by Milton Williams, Christian Barmore, and Dre'Mont Jones. That group is a big reason New England has 14 sacks and ranks ninth against the run this season.
How have the Bears been affected by injuries this season?
The Bears lost Caleb Williams for nearly a month with a hamstring issue, lost Coby Bryant before the season even started, Kyler Gordon missed the first five games, and Dayo Odeyingbo went on IR with a quad injury. Jonah Jackson's hip injury added to an already difficult stretch.
What is the Bears' record and playoff standing heading into the Patriots game?
The Bears are 4-2 on the season and have a real chance to position themselves well in the NFC playoff picture. After facing New England on Thursday night, they head to Seattle to face the Seahawks, making this a crucial stretch for Chicago's postseason hopes.
