Three days before the Packers game, tight end Cole Kmet was upgraded to limited with a knee injury suffered against the Cardinals. Receiver DJ Moore remains limited with an ankle problem but is likely to play against the Bears’ rivals.

Cornerback Jaylon Johnson remains out with a shoulder injury; he was hurt Sunday against the Falcons. Receiver Darnell Mooney remains in concussion protocol.

Backup quarterback Tyson Bagent remains out with an illness, and long snapper Patrick Scales is out with a foot injury. The Bears signed long snapper Matt Overton to the practice squad Wednesday.

Tight end Marcedes Lewis, who is 39, took his typical veteran rest day Thursday.
