Bears vs Patriots final injury report: The Bears will field the strongest lineup
The Patriots will start the game with 12 questionable players, this group is led by quarterback Mac Jones, who participated in primetime practice as a limited participant and spoke with reporters at his locker on Friday.
“I think it feels pretty good,” the team captain said of the sprained left high-ankle he suffered on Sept. 25. “Just trying to work through all the stuff, being able to play in an NFL football game. Want to be able to go out there and help the team and once I’m there, I’m there. So, I’m definitely making progress and we’ve done a good job with the treatment.”
In the absence of No. 10, Patriots rookie Bailey Zappe has completed 73% of his passes for 596 yards, four touchdowns, and one interception.

Wade would be the only active member of New England’s roster who would miss practice on Friday and Saturday. Despite being sick, the 2021 fifth-round pick out of Ohio State made his season debut in last weekend’s 38-15 win over the Cleveland Browns, playing nine defensive snaps and three special teams snaps. The remaining dozen questionable players were limited, with Jennings coming in late on the injury report. However, starting running back Damien Harris, who worked out in full for three straight sessions, will be inactive for the game due to a hamstring injury. This season, he has 287 yards from scrimmage and three touchdowns on 65 touches.
