Bears' inactives vs. Packers: DE Montez Sweat to play through ankle injury
Chicago Bears
The Chicago Bears will be without several key players on Sunday when they take on the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field.
Among the inactives are wide receiver Darnell Mooney (ankle), cornerback Jaylon Johnson (quad), and safety Eddie Jackson (hamstring).
Sweat suffered an ankle injury in practice on Thursday, but he was able to practice on Friday and is expected to play on Sunday.
Sweat is a key part of the Bears' defense, and his presence will be a boost to a unit that has struggled to generate pressure on the quarterback this season.
Other inactives for the Bears include:
* OT Larry Borom (ankle)
* OG Lucas Patrick (thumb)
* DT Angelo Blackson (concussion)
* LB Matthew Adams (hamstring)
* CB Kindle Vildor (ankle)
Green Bay Packers
The Green Bay Packers will also be without several key players on Sunday, including wide receiver Allen Lazard (ankle) and cornerback Jaire Alexander (groin).
Lazard is the Packers' leading receiver this season, and his absence will be a major blow to the team's offense.
Alexander is one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL, and his absence will be a major boost to the Bears' passing game.
Other inactives for the Packers include:
* DL Dean Lowry (calf)
* LB Quay Walker (thumb)
* CB Keisean Nixon (groin)
* S Innis Gaines (concussion)
* OT David Bakhtiari (knee)
The Bears and Packers are both 3-5 this season, and Sunday's game is a must-win for both teams.
The Bears will be looking to snap a three-game losing streak, while the Packers will be looking to avoid falling to 2-6 on the season.
