Ruled out for Week 8 Mack (foot) won't play in Sunday's game against San Francisco, Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Mack's absence comes as no surprise considering it was made known earlier in the week that the team's considering placing him on IR to allow his nagging foot injury to heal. He has persevered through the injury up to this point and performed admirably, notching six sacks through seven games, but Mack will endure his first absence of the season against the 49ers. Trevis Gipson will be tasked with filling Mack's massive shoes.

Likely to sit out Week 8 Mack isn't expected to play Sunday against the 49ers while tending to a lingering foot injury, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Rapoport adds that a four-week stint on injured reserve (the Bears are on bye Week 10) is being considered for Mack, who has been a regular on the Bears' injury reports since late September with the foot issue. Despite playing at less than full health, Mack has produced 19 tackles and six sacks this season, though he had a five-game streak with at least one sack come to an end in last week's 38-3 loss to the Buccaneers. Supremely durable throughout his career, Mack has only missed two games, both of which came in 2018 while he battled an ankle injury. With Mack headed for an absence and Robert Quinn (reserve/COVID-19 list) and Akiem Hicks (groin) also iffy to play Week 8, the Bears could struggle to generate pressure.

Set to face Tampa Bay Mack (foot) is active for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.

Impact Mack has been limited in practice since Week 3 but has yet to miss a game. He has recorded at least one sack in each of his last five contests, so it doesn't appear the issue has held back Mack's performance.

Questionable as usual Mack (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay.

Impact Mack got in a limited practice session Friday after sitting out Wednesday and Thursday, but this minimal level of participation during the week is nothing new for the banged-up pass rusher. Not only has Mack not missed a game this season, but he has six sacks in the last five, so deploy him as you normally would.

Unavailable for practice Mack (foot) did not participate in practice Thursday.

Impact The 30-year-old missed Wednesday's practice as well, but his status for Sunday may not be in question. Mack suited up in Week 6 versus the Packers after not practicing all week, something that may happen again in Week 7 against the Buccaneers. More information should be available Friday on his status. On the season, the star linebacker has 18 tackles, six sacks and a fumble recovery through six contests.
