The Chicago Bears will face the New England Patriots on Thursday Night Football, where Chicago is looking to improve to 5-2 on a short week.
The Bears and Patriots will announce their inactives 90 minutes before kickoff on Thursday night, or roughly 5:45 p.m. CT. This post will update as more information on player availability is known and official gameday inactives for Week 7 are announced.
The Bears have four players with injury designations with running back Kyle Monangai (thumb/toe), linebacker Jack Sanborn (concussion) ruled out and linebacker T.J. Edwards (hamstring) is doubtful. Meanwhile, cornerback Tyrique Stevenson (hip) is questionable. Quarterback Caleb Williams and cornerback Kyler Gordon, who both made their returns last week, were
not on the injury report.

Will Jonah Jackson play vs. Patriots?
Right guard Jonah Jackson suffered a hip and quad injuries in last Sunday's win over the Falcons, and there was concern he could miss some time. After being listed as a non-participant in Monday's walkthrough, he was listed as full on Wednesday and given no injury designation. That means the expectation is Jackson will be back at right guard tonight, which is huge news for Chicago's offensive line.
Will Kyle Monangai play in Week 7?
The Bears will be without running back Kyle Monangai for the third straight game when they host the Patriots on Thursday Night Football. Monangai has been dealing with thumb and toe injuries, but it's the toe injury that's kept him sidelined. Ian Rapoport noted that Monangai is nearing a return, but his absence will loom large in this game. Chicago has yet to rush for 100 yards without Monangai, although they remain the top rushing offense in the NFL.
