Jaquan Brisker - Placed on injured reserve The Bears placed Brisker (concussion) on injured reserve Thursday, Chris Emma of 670TheScore.com reports.

Impact Brisker entered concussion protocols following the Bears' Week 5 win over the Panthers, which has prevented from playing in each of Chicago's last four games. Now that he's been placed on injured reserve, Brisker will be forced to miss at least the next four regular-season games, making Week 15 against the Vikings on Monday, Dec. 16 the earliest he can return. Elijah Hicks will continue to serve as the Bears' starting strong safety alongside free safety Kevin Byard.

Caleb Williams - Remains starting QB Head coach Matt Eberflus confirmed Wednesday that Williams will remain the Bears' starting quarterback for Sunday's game against the Packers, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports...

Impact The Bears have lost each of their three games following their Week 7 bye, and Williams has taken a step backward in his development after he had completed 74.1 percent of his passes for 530 yards and a 6:1 TD:INT in the two games prior to the bye. Since the bye week, Williams has completed just 50.5 percent of his throws for 4.9 yards per attempt while committing one turnover (a lost fumble) and taking 18 sacks. Despite those struggles, Williams didn't look to be in any immediate danger of losing his starting job, but after the Bears fired offensive coordinator Shane Waldron on Tuesday, Ebeflus reaffirmed that the No. 1 overall pick wouldn't be benched for 2023 undrafted free agent Tyson Bagent. Bears passing game coordinator Thomas Brown is now set to direct the offense, and while Williams has nowhere to go but up after the coaching staff shakeup, he still represents a volatile fantasy option heading into a Week 11 matchup with Green Bay. Williams and the Bears will face a tough road over their final eight contests of the season, as a Week 17 game against the 4-5 Seahawks is Chicago's only matchup left with a team that's currently under .500.
