Analysis:

The Bears will be without some key players on offense, including running back Damien Williams and offensive linemen Michael Schofield and Riley Reiff. Quarterback Trevor Siemian is also inactive.

The Packers will be without some key players on defense, including outside linebacker Rashan Gary and cornerback Keisean Nixon. Wide receiver Christian Watson is also inactive.

The Bears will need to find a way to replace Williams' production in the running game. Khalil Herbert is expected to start in Williams' place, but the Bears could also use Trestan Ebner or Darrynton Evans.

The Packers will need to find a way to replace Gary's production on the edge. Preston Smith is expected to start in Gary's place, but the Packers could also use Kingsley Keke or Jonathan Garvin.

The inactives for both teams could have a significant impact on the outcome of the game. The Bears and Packers are both 3-5 and in need of a win.
