Allen Robinson II - Playing Week 7 Robinson (ankle) is active for Sunday's game in Tampa Bay, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Impact After sitting out Wednesday's practice, Robinson logged back-to-back limited sessions to wrap up Week 7 prep, which was one more than he managed one week prior. Last Sunday against the Packers, he received a season-high 93 percent share of the snaps on offense but turned his seven targets into just four catches for 53 yards. Robinson will seek out a better outing this Sunday against a Buccaneers defense that has surrendered the fourth-most receptions (91, tied with the Bengals) to wide receivers on the campaign.

Elijah Wilkinson - Sidelined against Bucs Wilkinson was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list Sunday, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

Caleb Johnson - Placed on COVID-19 list The Bears placed Johnson on the reserve/COVID-19 list Sunday.
Impact Johnson previously missed the Bears' Week 6 loss to the Packers with a knee injury, but he won't play Sunday against the Buccaneers for a difference reason. If he can overcome his knee injury and clear all health and safety protocols within the next week, the reserve linebacker could be ready to play in the Bears' next contest Oct. 31 versus the 49ers.

Allen Robinson II - In line to play Sunday Robinson (ankle) is expected to play Sunday at Tampa Bay, despite being listed as questionable, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Impact Aside from his lost last season in Jacksonville in 2017 -- he made just one appearance due to a torn ACL -- Robinson otherwise has missed nine games in his seven other campaigns. He also put in more work on the practice field this week than during Week 6 prep before logging a season-high 93 percent of the offensive snaps in last Sunday's loss to the Packers. Assuming he gets clearance ahead of the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, Robinson will be facing a Buccaneers defense that has tied for the fourth-most catches allowed (91) to wide receivers this year.
