Bears' Dillon Thieneman: Logs first INT in NFL career
Rotowire
Thieneman registered six tackles (four solo) and an interception during the Bears' 27-7 win over the Eagles on Sunday.
Thieneman picked off Andy Dalton on a pass intended for Dontayvion Wicks in the end zone, and the Bears' offense capitalized on the turnover with an 11-play, 69-yard drive that ended with a 29-yard field goal by Cairo Santos to extend Chicago's lead to 10-0. Thieneman has played every single defensive snap through the first three regular-season games of his NFL career, and his 15 solo tackles are tied for seventh-most in the league.

Bears' Kyler Gordon: No limitations in walkthrough
Rotowire
Gordon (calf) was estimated as a full participant on the Bears' official injury report Wednesday.
Since he began the regular season on Chicago's reserve/PUP list, Gordon won't be eligible to suit up for game action again until Week 5 at Green Bay. With that said, his current availability at practice is a strong indication he's on track to do just that. His status will be worth monitoring until he is officially activated.

Bears' Tyrique Stevenson: DNP to open Week 3 prep
Rotowire
Stevenson (hamstring) did not participate in Thursday's practice.
Stevenson tweaked his hamstring during the Bears' Week 2 loss to the Vikings, and he was held out of the first practice of Week 3 prep as a result of his injury.

Bears' Shemar Turner: Practice window opened
Rotowire
The Bears opened the 21-day practice window for Turner (knee) on Wednesday, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
Turner suffered a torn ACL during Week 8 of last season but is now closer to making his return to the field. The 23-year-old was placed on the reserve/PUP list in August and will have to miss at least two more games as a result before he's eligible to return. Once healthy, Turner could contribute as a depth defensive lineman.

Bears' Noah Sewell: Bears open practice window
Rotowire
The Bears opened the 21-day practice window for Sewell (Achilles) on Wednesday, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
Sewell began the 2026 campaign on the reserve/PUP list while working his way back from a torn Achilles. Although that means he is required to miss at least two more games, it appears he is moving in a positive direction toward a return. The 24-year-old most recently appeared in 13 regular-season games for Chicago during the 2025 campaign, amassing 59 total tackles and one forced fumble.

Bears' Devin Bush: Tallies four tackles Sunday
Rotowire
Bush recorded four tackles (three solo) and a pass defensed during Sunday's 9-3 loss versus the Vikings.
Bush played all 52 of Chicago's defensive snaps in Week 2, but he only managed four tackles, even against a run-heavy Minnesota attack. Managers relying on him for IDP production will be hoping for more in a Week 3 tilt versus the Eagles.

Bears' T.J. Edwards: Makes four tackles in loss
Rotowire
Edwards recorded four tackles (two solo) during Sunday's 9-3 loss versus the Vikings.
Edwards played on 100 percent of the Bears' defensive snaps for the second time in as many games to open the season. However, Edwards' tackle total remained modest, and he'll look to boost his production in a Week 3 matchup against the Eagles.

Anthony Johnson: Placed on practice-squad IR
Rotowire
The Bears placed Johnson (undisclosed) on the practice-squad injured reserve Friday.
Johnson appears to have suffered an injury and will now be sidelined for at least four games while he manages the injury. The Bears signed Keidron Smith to the practice squad in a corresponding move, but the defensive back will likely be cut once Johnson is healthy and able to return to the roster.

Bears' Malik Muhammad: Good to go against Minnesota
Rotowire
Muhammad (ankle) does not have an injury designation for Sunday's NFC North clash against the Vikings.
Muhammad was limited in practice by an ankle injury earlier in the week, but he shed an injury designation for Week 2 after practicing in full Friday. The rookie fourth-rounder operated in an elevated role defensively during the Bears' Week 1 win over the Panthers, but his playing time will likely take a hit due to the return of veteran safety Xavier Woods (groin).

Bears' Xavier Woods: Cleared to play Week 2
Rotowire
Woods (groin) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Vikings.
A groin injury prevented Woods from playing in the Bears' Week 1 loss to the Panthers, but the veteran safety logged a full practice Friday, which was enough for him to avoid an injury designation for Sunday's NFC North tilt. Woods is expected start alongside rookie first-rounder Dillon Thieneman at safety, with Elijah Hicks, Skyler Thomas and Malik Muhammad all providing depth at the position.

Bears' Malik Muhammad: Working through ankle injury
Rotowire
Muhammad (ankle) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
The rookie fourth-round defensive back may have tweaked his ankle during the Bears' 59-37 win over the Panthers in Week 1, when he logged three tackles (two solo) and two pass defenses (including an interception). Muhammad will have two more opportunities to log a full practice and avoid an injury designation for the Bears' NFC North tilt against the Vikings on Sunday.

Bears' Xavier Woods: Limited in Wednesday's practice
Rotowire
Woods (groin) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice session.
Woods popped up on the Bears' injury report last week due to a groin injury, which prevented him from playing in this past Sunday's regular-season opener against the Panthers. The Bears gave up 37 points in that game, so Woods' return against the Vikings this Sunday would be a significant boost to Chicago's secondary. The veteran safety will have two more opportunities to increase his practice participation and avoid an injury designation for Week 2.

Bears' Devin Bush: Recovers fumble in win
Rotowire
Bush made six tackles (two solo) and recovered one fumble in Sunday's 59-37 win over the Panthers.

Rotowire
Thieneman logged 10 tackles (eight solo) and one pass defense during the Bears' 59-37 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
Thieneman, a first-round selection of the Bears in the 2026 NFL Draft, made his regular-season debut Sunday in what turned out to be the highest-scoring Week 1 contest in NFL history. Thieneman did his part, leading the Bears in tackles while playing all 68 defensive snaps and playing 17 more snaps on special teams.

Bears' Xavier Woods: Inactive against Carolina
Rotowire
Woods (groin) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Panthers.
Woods was injured in practice this week and won't get to face his former team after spending the 2022-24 campaigns with Carolina. The Chicago secondary is already in disarray, with Coby Bryant (knee) on injured reserve and Kyler Gordon (calf) on reserve/PUP to begin the season.
