Cornerback Kyle Fuller’s status for Monday night’s game is up in the air, having limited participation in this week’s practices. This puts the pressure on veteran Tracy Porter and rookie Deiondre Hall. Last week against the Texans, Chicago’s pass defense struggled as the game progressed, and ended up surrendering a touchdown by rookie receiver Will Fuller, who also had 107 receiving yards. Eagles wide receiver Jordan Matthews had 114 yards and a touchdown versus the Browns in Week 1, and could present the same problem for the Bears’ thin and inexperienced secondary. Chicago’s pass defense will be heavily dependent on their pass rush on the Eagles’ rookie quarterback Carson Wentz.

Advantage: Eagles
