Bears WR Luther Burden III in concussion protocol.

The Titans are trading All-Pro DT Jeffery Simmons to the Bears, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network. The Bears receive Simmons and a 2028 fifth-round pick, while the Titans receive 2027 and 2028 first-round picks and a 2027 fourth-round pick, per Adam Schefter of ESPN.

Bears TE Cole Kmet was ruled out of Thursday night's game against the Patriots with a knee injury, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. Kmet was carted off, per Pro Football Talk.


The Patriots downgraded CB Christian Gonzalez to questionable for Thursday night's game at Chicago due to an illness, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.

Caleb Williams is officially active for the Bears on Sunday after missing three games with a hamstring injury. He went 10-for-10 for 122 yards and a TD on his first two possessions.
Walt's take: I wrote in my power rankings this week that Caleb Williams can't get back on the field soon enough, and that I imagined he was going to miraculously feel better this week. Well, here we are. The Bears needed him after Tyson Bagent was so bad against the Packers that he was benched for Case Keenum, and Williams' expected return is why I didn't move Chicago down.
