Wide receivers DJ Moore and Olamide Zaccheaus were recently added to the illness report, raising concerns among fans and coaches alike.

Johnson stated, “Whoever’s available here on game day, we will look to win with.” This highlights the team’s resilience in the face of adversity.
Bears’ Season Highlights
Despite the challenges posed by illness, the Bears recently achieved a significant milestone. The team clinched the NFC North title when the Green Bay Packers fell to the Baltimore Ravens. This marks a dramatic turnaround for the Bears, who finished last in the division for three consecutive seasons prior to this one.
In Ben Johnson’s inaugural season as head coach, the Bears have shown considerable improvement. Fans are hopeful that the team’s determination will shine through, even with the current health issues impacting their star players.
