Chicago will hope those three will be healthy by the time the team travels to San Francisco. However, with three players battling an illness, there’s a possibility that a contagious illness could spread through the 53-man roster and practice squad before Sunday night’s game.
The injury report will be something to keep an eye on this week as more names could be added.
The 49ers enter the game with an 11-4 record (No. 5 in the conference), tied with the Los Angeles Rams for second place in the NFC West. They trail the 12-3 Seattle Seahawks by one game in the division with two games remaining in the regular season.
The 11-4 Bears hold the NFC’s No. 2 seed. With a win over the 49ers on Sunday night, Chicago would earn its first NFC North title since 2018 and second since 2010.
