Several Chicago Bears players have been listed on the injury report ahead of their regular-season finale against the Green Bay Packers. Tight end Cole Kmet, who was initially reported as not participating (DNP) in practice due to a knee injury and expected to play in Week 18, was later ruled out with a forearm injury during the game. Despite earlier expectations for Kmet to play, as indicated by multiple sources, his status changed during the game when he sustained the forearm injury. Alongside Kmet, Jaylon Johnson, Darnell Mooney, Patrick Scales, and Tyson Bagent were also listed as DNP due to illness, while DJ Moore was limited in practice. Additionally, running back Khalil Herbert, who was dealing with a back issue, was expected to play. The team later announced that right guard Nate Davis, who suffered a foot injury, is questionable to return.
