Good to go for Week 17 Dexter (knee) is not among Chicago's inactives for Thursday's matchup against Seattle.

Impact Dexter missed Chicago's past two games due to a knee issue, but he's set to return Thursday after logging a DNP/LP/LP practice progression this week. The second-year defensive tackle had started each of the Bears' first 13 games before getting hurt Week 14 against San Francisco. Dexter will likely retake his starting role against the Seahawks, which could lead to Chris Williams logging fewer defensive snaps.

Won't play Week 15 Dexter (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against Minnesota.

Impact Dexter likely hurt his knee against San Francisco in Week 14, as he logged only 21 percent of Chicago's defensive snaps in that loss. The defensive lineman didn't practice at all this week and consequently will miss his first game of the campaign. Chris Williams may be asked to play more defensive snaps against the Vikings on Sunday in Dexter's stead.

Listed as non-participant Dexter (knee) was a non-participant at Thursday's walkthrough practice.

Impact Dexter played a season-low 21 percent of defensive snaps during Chicago's loss to the 49ers in Week 14, seeming due to the knee injury he's now managing. If the second-year pro can't get healthy in time for Monday's divisional road matchup against the Vikings, Byron Cowart and Chris Williams will stand to see increased opportunities at defensive tackle.

First sack since Week 5 Dexter recorded 1.0 sacks and eight tackles in the Bears' 23-20 loss to the Lions on Thursday.

Impact Dexter averaged 2.5 tackles through Chicago's first six games, but the defensive tackle has notched at least five stops in four of the last six games. However, the second-year player has just 1.0 sack in the last seven contests after starting the season with four sacks through Week 5. Dexter has been inconsistent IDP, but in leagues that start defensive tackles, he is a weekly upside play.
