The news was less positive on receiver Kevin Walter (hamstring) and free safety Eugene Wilson (knee), who worked out separately from the team under the watchful eye of trainer Geoff Kaplan and again didn't participate in practice.
André Davis is expected to start for Walter and Dominique Barber for Wilson against the Jets.

But coach Gary Kubiak did say Walter is progressing and wouldn't yet rule him out for the opener, although he added, “I think it's going to be really close as to whether he's going to be ready to go. We'll probably work him out before the game.
“Kevin's a player who could play well without practicing. He's a sharp guy. He knows what we're doing. But we'll have to make a smart decision with him.”

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.
