Who will play if Jackson can't

If Jackson can't play, the Bears will turn to Luke Newman, who replaced him Sunday.

Other players out

Running back Kyle Monangai remains out and is unlikely to play Thursday. Linebackers T.J. Edwards (hamstring) and Jack Sanborn (concussion) wouldn't have practiced.

Bears sign Coby Bryant

The Bears chose to sign safety Coby Bryant instead of re-signing Kevin Byard, who led the NFL with seven interceptions and was named a first-team All-Pro last season.

Bryant landed with the Patriots and coach Mike Vrabel, his old boss with the Titans.

Wide receiver Rome Odunze said, 'I’m looking forward to going up against him. And hopefully after the game, after the win, I’ll say my hellos.'
