After a much-needed bye week, the Bears will be returning a few key players. Wide receiver Taylor Gabriel will be back in action after suffering a concussion in Week 3. The return of defensive lineman Bilal Nichols will add some needed depth along the defensive line. Nichols sustained a broken hand in Chicago’s Week 2 victory over the Denver Broncos. And of course, there is the return of quarterback Mitchell Trubisky. The third-year veteran dislocated his non-throwing shoulder in Week 4, and is officially listed as questionable for this week’s game.

Assuming that all of these players will be re-inserted into the starting lineup, their performances will be vital to the Bears’ chances of getting a win.
