Dan Bernstein and Matt Abbatacola dive into one of the biggest questions surrounding the Bears: if Caleb Williams is expected to miss time, why wasn't he placed on injured reserve?


0:00 Why wasn't Caleb placed on IR?

16:00 What's Ben's tone this week?

28:00 Lane Johnson retirement


They also keep a close eye on Ben Johnson's comments throughout the week as the rivalry with Matt LaFleur and the Packers heats up ahead of Sunday. Plus, around the NFL, they discuss Lane Johnson's retirement, how the Bills' crowd noise may actually be creating challenges for their own defense at home, and an unlikely Vikings scenario Bears fan would love to see unfold. Minnesota is off to a 4-0 start, making a playoff miss highly improbable, but if they were to become just the fifth team in Super Bowl era history to start 4-0 and miss the playoffs, Chicago fans certainly wouldn't be shedding any tears.
