Dante Pettis - Makes highlight-reel catch in loss Pettis secured four of seven targets for 84 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' 12-7 loss to the Commanders on Thursday night.
Impact Pettis made the Bears' only touchdown of the night memorable with a pretty over-the-shoulder 40-yard catch midway through the third quarter. The 26-year-old led the team in receiving yards as well while checking in second to Darnell Mooney in targets. Pettis hadn't recorded any statistics over 93 snaps and 51 routes run since scoring a 51-yard touchdown on his only catch in Week 1, so it remains to be seen if Thursday's semi-breakout effort has any carryover into a Week 7 Monday night road interconference matchup against the Patriots on Oct. 24.

Darnell Mooney - Comes up just short on final play Mooney secured seven of 12 targets for 68 yards in the Bears' 12-7 loss to the Commanders on Thursday night.
Impact The third-year speedster led the Bears in receptions and targets while checking in second in receiving yards, but his final catch of the night is what will draw the most attention. Mooney hauled in a pass from Justin Fields that initially hit him in the chest mid-air as his body crossed the plane of the goal line, but he bobbled it and didn't secure it until coming down about a half-yard short of the end zone. The fact the play unfolded on fourth down with 30 seconds remaining and the Bears down five naturally magnifies the failure to score in what was otherwise his best all-around performance following a forgettable start to the season. Mooney will aim to atone when the Bears visit the Patriots for a Week 7 Monday night showdown Oct. 24.

Justin Fields - Garners 278 total yards in loss Fields completed 14 of 27 passes for 190 yards with one touchdown and one interception and rushed 12 times for 88 yards in the Bears' 12-7 loss to the Commanders on Thursday night....
Impact Fields put together a third straight serviceable passing performance, but he also took five sacks and couldn't get the Bears into the end zone on either of the final two possessions. In fairness, he came just a yard short of doing so with 30 seconds remaining, but Darnell Mooney bobbled Fields' pass as it hit him in mid-air while crossing the plane of the goal line and he was ruled to only have gained control of it down about a half-yard short of the end zone. Earlier in the game, Fields connected with Dante Pettis on a picturesque, over-the-shoulder 40-yard touchdown pass midway through the third quarter, but he short-circuited an earlier scoring opportunity by throwing a pick on the Commanders' five-yard line late in the first quarter as well. Fields and his teammates will now have extra time to regroup ahead of a Week 7 Monday night road matchup against the Patriots on Oct. 24.

Lucas Patrick - Returns versus Washington Patrick (head) returned during the fourth quarter of Monday's game against the Commanders, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Impact Patrick appears to have cleared his concussion evaluation given his ability to step back in at left guard. As a result, either Michael Schofield or Teven Jenkins should finish out Monday's game at right guard.
OCTOBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE
Lucas Patrick - Forced to exit Monday Patrick (head) is questionable to return to Monday's game against the Commanders, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Patrick spent time in the medical tent on Chicago's sideline before heading to the locker room to be evaluated for a potential concussion, per Cronin. In his absence, Michael Schofield will shift over to left guard while Teven Jenkins steps back in at right guard.

N'Keal Harry - Healthy scratch Thursday Harry (coach's decision) is listed as inactive Thursday against the Commanders.
Impact The Bears activated Harry from injured reserve Monday, but his season debut will be delayed until Monday, Oct. 24 in New England, at the earliest. The team may be taking a cautious approach with Harry after he underwent ankle surgery in early August, and his cause likely wasn't helped by the fact that Chicago's receiving corps otherwise is relatively healthy at the moment.

Alex Leatherwood - Returns to practice The Bears designated Leatherwood (illness) for return to practice from the reserve/non-football illness list Wednesday, Larry Mayer of the team's official site reports.
Impact The transaction kicks off a 21-day window for Chicago remove Leatherwood from the reserve/non-football illness list. He started all 17 games for the Raiders as a rookie in 2021, and the Bears will hope he proves worthy of a similar role with Chicago once fully healthy.

N'Keal Harry - Cleared for Thursday Harry (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Thursday's game against the Commanders.
Impact Harry opened the season on injured reserve after undergoing ankle surgery in early August, missing the Bears' first four games before returning to practice last week. He's now been cleared to play in a game for the first time all season, and it's possible he handles a significant role given how little production the Bears have gotten from their wide receivers this season. The possibility also exists that the 2019 first-round pick doesn't play or barely plays, given the long layoff and his lack of prior success in the NFL during his time with New England.

N'Keal Harry - Limited by ankle Tuesday Harry (ankle) was limited at Tuesday's walkthrough.
Impact A first-round pick of the Patriots in 2019, Harry found a new home in Chicago back in July after three underwhelming seasons in New England. He proceeded to suffer a high-ankle sprain in his first training camp in Chicago, resulting in a tight-rope surgery and subsequent placement on injured reserve. After missing the first five games of the campaign, Harry was activated from IR on Monday, only to show up on the injury report one day later. His status thus bears monitoring ahead of Thursday's contest against the Commanders.

Matthew Adams - Goes on injured reserve Adams (calf) was placed on IR on Tuesday.
Impact Adams left Sunday's loss the Vikings early with the injury, then was a DNP on the team's estimated practice report Monday. The fifth-year linebacker has struggled to stay healthy this season, already missing Weeks 3 and 4 due to a hamstring injury. He'll now be forced to miss at least the next four weeks, with a return of Nov. 13 against the Lions being his earliest eligibility.

Dane Cruikshank - Recovered from injury Cruikshank (hamstring) was a full participant in the Bears' estimated practice report Monday, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Cruikshank has missed the team's previous three contests, having not suited up since Week 2 against the Packers. His return Thursday against the Commanders should bolster the depth of the team's secondary and special-teams unit.
