The Chicago Bears will face the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, where Chicago is looking for their third straight win over Green Bay while honoring the late Mike Ditka, who died on Friday.
The Bears and Packers will announce their inactives 90 minutes before kickoff on Sunday afternoon, or roughly 10:30 a.m. CT. This post will update as more information on player availability is known and official gameday inactives for Week 5 are announced.
The Bears have six players with injury designations with running back Kyle Monangai (toe/thumb) and linebacker Keyshawn Elliott (quad) ruled out. Four players, including quarterback Caleb Williams (hamstring), cornerback Kyler Gordon (calf), defensive tackle Shemar Turner (knee) and linebacker Noah Sewell (Achilles)
are all questionable.

Will Caleb Williams play vs. Packers?
On Monday, Ben Johnson said that Caleb Williams wouldn't play in Week 5 and that Tyson Bagent would get the start for the second straight week. But things certainly have gotten interesting with the final injury report. Williams returned to practice for the first time since his hamstring injury, in limited fashion, and is officially questionable for Sunday's game against the Packers. We'll see when inactives are revealed, but all indications are Williams won't play in Week 5.
Will Kyle Monangai play in Week 5?
The Bears have the NFL's best rushing attack, and Kyle Monangai played a huge role in that Week 4 win where the team totaled 232 rushing yards. But Monangai, who had 146 rushing yards and two touchdowns, suffered thumb and toe injuries. While Monangai's thumb is fine, it's the toe injury that's more severe than initially thought. Ben Johnson ruled out Monangai on Friday, which means it'll be D'Andre Swift and Roschon Johnson as the 1-2 punch in Chicago's backfield.
