10 questions emerging from the Chicago Bears win over the Washington Commanders
1. Should the Chicago Bears bench Elijah Hicks?
One small disappointment from the Chicago Bears win was Elijah Hicks. Hicks is a former seventh-round pick who went from special teams to start because of the injury to Eddie Jackson. Still, his last two weeks have not been good. Hicks has a bunch of missed tackles, he gave up a huge pass to Marvin Mims deep, and he was in coverage for both of the Commanders touchdowns on Thursday.
The Chicago Bears do not have an update on Eddie Jackson, but they are missing him in the worst way right now. His play cost them against Denver, and it kept Washington in this game. It cannot hold up against better teams. The Chicago Bears signed Duron Harmon off of the Baltimore Ravens practice squad. If Jackson is not back for the Vikings game, do they roll with Harmon over Hicks?

They cannot have Hicks out there for TJ Hockenson, Jordan Addison, and Justin Jefferson going over the top on him. This will be worth monitoring throughout the week to see if Harmon or Jackson are ready.
