Impact With Chicago playing from behind for much of the game, the Rams were able to run the ball often, but Mack was still able to enter the sack column for the fifth time in six games.

Ready for MNF Mack (back) is active for Monday's game versus the Rams.

Impact Mack started dealing with back soreness Friday but has made enough progress to suit up for Monday's NFC showdown. The veteran edge rusher has generated 4.5 sacks and 15 quarterback pressures through the first six games, and he continues to have high upside in IDP formats. He has a tough test ahead, though, as Jared Goff has been sacked on just 3.6 percent of dropbacks this season, sixth in the league.
