During the NFL offseason, the Chicago Bears made some drastic moves to get the storied franchise back on track as a force to be reckoned with and able to compete with the Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions in the NFC North.
With the division stacked at the moment, Chicago needed to shake things up and had the best opportunity to do so with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
The Bears’ most significant move was selecting quarterback Caleb Williams with the top pick, which many believed was a game-changing acquisition that would immediately turn things around.
Building around Williams, the team brought in wide receiver Keenan Allen in a trade with the Los Angeles Chargers to add some veteran talent to the receiving corps.
Unfortunately for Chicago, Allen has played in only one game this season, but according to Courtney Cronin of ESPN, he’s on track to get back on the field in Week 4 against the Los Angeles Rams.
Bears anticipate that Keenan Allen will play on Sunday.
Matt Eberflus said that Kevin Byard and Andrew Billings may do workouts pregame to determine their availability. Both are listed as questionable.

With Williams coming off the best game of his rookie season, adding Allen back into the mix is another step in the right direction.
With the receiving corps at full strength with Rome Odunze and D.J. Moore, the Bears might be able to improve offensively and display the true potential of the team moving forward.
