The Chicago Bears will play the Washington Commanders on Sunday after taking a week off. The Bears are in the exact position they want to be through the first seven weeks of the season. With Caleb Williams at quarterback and a 4-2 record, the Bears appear to be a strong club in the NFC North despite their poor start.
The Bears don’t have a division game until Week 11, when they play the Packers, which is one of the oddities of their schedule this year. Given how tight the NFC North is, the games between the division rivals will have a significant impact on who makes the playoffs regardless of Chicago’s record up until that point.
The Bears recently signed a prospect who played for the Packers the previous season prior to the Week 11 game against Green Bay. Chicago is adding tight end Joel Wilson to the practice squad, according to Bears insider Brad Biggs. Sweeney was previously placed on the practice squad injured reserve.
During the 2023 season, Wilson joined the Packers practice squad. On the day before the 2024 season, he was cut off the roster. Although he hasn’t yet made his NFL debut, he has also spent time on the Saints, Bills, and Giants practice squads.
The 24-year-old tight end out of Central Michigan will join the practice squad that has former Packers WR Samori Toure. The Bears currently have Cole Kmet, Gerald Everett, and Marcedes Lewis as their tight ends on their active roster. Wilson will have to wait for an injury to one of these veterans to potentially get elevated.
