Nov 08, 2021

Head coach Matt Rhule said that Darnold went for an MRI on his shoulder after reporting soreness on Monday morning.

Fantasy Impact:

We reported an ESPN opinion story that feels the team should bench Darnold in favor of Walker, so this could end up being the case whether the team wants to call it a benching or not. Rhule said in this story they are going to watch film and evaluate before making any decisions on Darnold. Now they will also wait for MRI results. The Panthers have a tough test against the Cardinals in Week 10.

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
