3. Chicago Bears will see Jaquan Brisker healthy

Matt Eberflus already noted that Jaquan Brisker will return Sunday after missing two games due to a concussion. The timing of the bye week is nice for Brisker as well.

He obviously was playing a ton before his injury, so it was likely close to him hitting a physical wall. Getting three weeks away from the brutal collisions could have him back to a better version than you would expect from a rookie this late into the season.

Brisker has already proven that he is a great pick and asset. The Chicago Bears will continue to see more from him after the bye week. With these big-time offenses, it will be a great test, but either way, the learning experience will go a long way.
