The Chicago Bears are headed back to their Halas Hall home after breaking training camp by swapping jerseys and laughing through a light workout.

Linebacker Brian Urlacher and quarterback Jay Cutler had seemed to be at odds when camp started, but wore each other's numbers Thursday as players up and down the roster confused fans by swapping jerseys for the final workout.

Coach Lovie Smith says camp has brought the team together under a new quarterback and helped the passing game get off the ground.

Injuries, though, still plague the preseason. Cornerbacks Charles Tillman and Zack Bowman and safety Danieal Manning will remain out for Saturday's game against the New York Giants.

But running back Matt Forte, defensive tackle Tommie Harris and tight end Greg Olsen are expected to play.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

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.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

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.
