Injury Updates Before Kickoff
Both teams face significant injury concerns.
For the Eagles, star wide receiver DeVonta Smith has been ruled out with shoulder and illness issues. All-Pro right tackle Lane Johnson will miss his second straight game, while safety Andrew Mukuba and tackle Myles Hinton are also sidelined. Running back Saquon Barkley, guard Landon Dickerson, safety Reed Blankenship, and veteran defensive end Brandon Graham are expected to play despite being limited in practice.
The Bears are thin in the front seven, missing linebackers T.J. Edwards, Ruben Hyppolite II, and Noah Sewell, along with defensive lineman Dominique Robinson and cornerback Tyrique Stevenson. However, they receive a major boost in the secondary with Jaylon Johnson and Kyler Gordon returning from injured reserve. Chicago’s defensive backfield already leads the league with 16 interceptions, and their presence will be critical against Jalen Hurts and A.J. Brown.
Game Outlook and Prediction
Both teams boast young franchise quarterbacks—Hurts for Philadelphia and Caleb Williams for Chicago—surrounded by elite skill talent. The Bears lean on a physical, run-heavy identity while allowing Williams to take calculated deep shots. The Eagles remain balanced, mixing designed quarterback runs with Barkley’s power and Brown’s downfield threat.
Chicago’s surge has come from red-zone efficiency and timely takeaways. With Johnson and Gordon back, their secondary can challenge Philadelphia’s receivers. The question is whether their depleted linebacker group can contain Barkley and the Eagles’ rushing attack.
For Philadelphia, protection is the key. Without Lane Johnson, Hurts must extend plays smartly and avoid unnecessary hits. On defense, forcing Williams into long third downs plays into their strength.
Prediction: Expect a tight contest, but the Eagles’ home-field advantage and battle-tested roster give them a slight edge.
