Injury Update: No Bears players on final injury report

Injury Update 2025 Week 3 16x9 - 1W

The Bears do not have a single player with an out, doubtful or questionable designation on their injury report for Sunday's home opener against the Vikings.

It's the first time that has occurred since Week 7 of the 2022 season when the Bears defeated the Patriots 33-14 in New England on Monday Night Football.

All seven players who were limited in Thursday's practice were full participants in Friday's workout: Running backs D'Andre Swift (ankle/knee) and Kyle Monangai (hamstring), offensive tackles Darnell Wright (knee) and Ozzy Trapilo (knee), defensive end Dayo Odeyingbo (shoulder), cornerback Malik Muhammad (ankle) and safety Xavier Woods (groin).

In Friday's injury news involving the Vikings, coach Kevin O'Connell announced that quarterback Kyler Murray has been ruled out of Sunday's game with a concussion and veteran Carson Wentz will start in his place.

Murray exited last Sunday's season opener against the Packers in the first quarter. He was replaced by Wentz, who rallied the Vikings to a 39-22 win by completing 12 of 19 passes for 133 yards, three touchdowns and a 123.5 passer rating.

Wentz has appeared in 104 NFL games with 99 starts over 11 seasons with the Eagles (2016-20), Colts (2021), Commanders (2022), Rams (2023), Chiefs (2024) and Vikings (2025-present).

Bears linebacker T.J. Edwards was Wentz's teammate in Philadelphia in 2019-20.

"He's really talented," Edwards said. "He's seen a lot of ball at this point, too, of his career. Can make all the throws, can move if he has to and get out of some things. Just in general, that's a really talented offense, schematically what they do up front in the run game and then obviously the skill that they have outside."

The Bears spent the week prepping for both Murray and Wentz just in case.

"You never really know," Edwards said. "We were preparing all week for both, just kind of seeing what would happen. But I think both guys can make every throw, so from that aspect of the passing game, we knew what to expect. No matter what it is, we're excited as a defense to get back out there on the field, at home with our fans. That's where we're at."

Also for the Vikings, receiver Jauan Jennings will miss Sunday's game due to a personal issue, while starting right tackle Brian O'Neill is questionable with a knee injury after being limited in Friday's practice.
