The Chicago Bears head into Week 4 against the Raiders banged up, and the injury report isn’t pretty. Several starters are already ruled out, and a few more are game-time decisions. Here’s where things stand after Friday’s update.
Out for Sunday
LB T.J. Edwards (hamstring): The tackling machine couldn’t get on the field all week. Huge loss for the front seven.
DL Grady Jarrett (knee): Same story. No practice, no chance. Chicago will miss his presence in the pass rush.
OT Darnell Wright (elbow): Didn’t practice all week and is officially out. That’s a big blow to the offensive line and could leave Caleb Williams more exposed to the Raiders edge pressure. Looking at you Maxx Crosby.

Questionable
DB Kyler Gordon (hamstring): His availability matters a lot in the slot, especially against short and underneath routes. It would be very nice to see Gordon make his season debut given the other injuries to the defense.
TE Colston Loveland (hip): Sat out early in the week but was limited Friday. He’s been a weapon Ben Johnson wants to use more and more.
RB D’Andre Swift (hip): Limited all week. If he can’t go, expect more touches for the backups. However, there is a drop off after Swift.
Good to Go
LB D’Marco Jackson (hamstring): Full practices across the board, no issues.
DB Jaylon Jones (hamstring): Limited early but finished the week full. He’s in.
TE Cole Kmet (groin): Started slow but closed the week full. He’s expected to play. This is huge if Loveland can’t get on the field Sunday.
