Bears Promote Wide Receiver from Practice Squad to Active Roster

Bears Elevate Wide Receiver From Practice Squad

The Chicago Bears will have their work cut out for them on Sunday.

Their game vs. the Houston Texans will steal all the headlines, as it will give the fans yet another chance to watch Caleb Williams.

However, the No. 1 pick might not have its top two weapons in the passing game, as wide receivers Rome Odunze (sprained knee) and Keenan Allen (heel) are both questionable.

They practiced Friday, but it seems like the team wants to err on the side of caution, which is why they elevated WR Collin Johnson from the practice squad, according to a report by Aaron Wilson.

They also signed Scott Daly to their 53-man roster and placed Ryan Bates on Injured Reserve (IR).

The Bears had a tough time on offense in the season opener.

Caleb Williams wasn’t very efficient, and he looked way over his head in the pocket at times.

The offensive line didn’t do him much favors, but he struggled as soon as the pocket collapsed.

The defense, however, was right on point.

They scored a defensive and a special teams touchdown to secure their first win of the Caleb Williams era.

They should have a much more difficult time replicating that kind of performance on Sunday night, as CJ Stroud doesn’t usually put the ball in harm’s way.

This will be a big challenge for the new-look Bears in their first primetime game of the season, especially if they don’t have one of their star players on the field.
