For the Bears, they’ll be without their only fullback in Tony Fiammetta. Look for a lot of three wide receiver sets and Matthew Mulligan and Dante Rosario to compliment Martellus Bennett. Rosario played a fair bit of H-back in the preseason.
It’s a little surprising the Bears keep veteran cornerback Kelvin Hayden in favor of the younger Demontre Hurst. If any of the top three cornerbacks get dinged, it could force special teams ace Sherrick McManis into action.
One name missing from the inactive list is safety Chris Conte. Look for him to start at safety, but the Bears will rotate Danny McCray and rookie Brock Vereen into the mix.

For the Buffalo Bills, they’ll be without starting right cornerback Stephon Gilmore. That means we’ll see a lot of former Bear Corey Graham and should open up some things for the Bears passing game.
