Johnson ruled out Jones ahead of practice and revealed that it will be Theo Benedet who gets the nod at left tackle, as Ozzy Trapilo is still not ready to play.

Lewis was the only player to see a downgrade in participation and he is listed as doubtful, which means he's highly unlikely to play. Xavier Woods will get the start in his place.

Sewell, Turner and Gordon are all working their way back from the PUP list and won't be eligible to return until Week 5. That said, all three practicing in full puts them on track to be ready to go next week.

Swift popped up on the Bears' injury report on Thursday with his knee issue, which immediately put his status up in the air.

However, the Bears running back was a full participant in practice and has been removed from the injury report entirely, so he's ready to roll for Sunday.

It appears the Bears are going to keep their starting quarterback decision secret until Sunday, as head coach Ben Johnson did not name a starter after announcing Williams had been ruled out.

"We'll find out on Sunday," Johnson told reporters when asked about who will start.

"It's been outstanding," he said of preparing for the game with Tyson Bagent and Case Keenum. "The quarterback room in general is really good. They all are supportive of each other."

"I feel really good abou the whole room, and so I don't know that there's a bad choice or a wrong choice. So, we're very, very fortunate that we've got guys that we believe in. The whole team believes, it's not just the coaching staff. The whole team believes in everybody in that room. And so, it's one of those things that you can't go wrong. You just want to make sure you're doing right by all the guys on the team and you're putting yourself in the best chance to win the ball game," Johnson added.

As for Williams, his Grade 2 hamstring strain is expected to keep him out three to four weeks, so it's possible he could miss two more games.
