Just days after being released by the Seahawks, Robertson-Harris will now meet with the Cardinals, who are hoping to improve a defensive line that finished bottom six in pressure rate in 2024. Robertson-Harris split time between the Jaguars and Seahawks last season, earning a PFF defensive grade of 52.8 while totaling 16 pressures and two sacks. He saw his snaps dwindle as his time with the Seahawks went on, as his 398 defensive snaps wound up being his fewest since 2020.

Despite an early-week DNP, Swift heads into the week in arguably a better position than he started it. We’re not sure how much workload he’ll handle with Kyle Monangai (foot) out, but it will certainly be a large majority of what the Bears do. Roschon Johnson figures to handle whatever Swift can’t, but isn’t a priority free agency pickup so much as a stash at this point.

Williams got in a limited session today. It is his first time practicing since straining his hamstring in Week 2 against the Vikings. According to the Chicago Tribune’s Brad Biggs, Williams could be ramped up in time to face the Falcons in Week 6, depending on how his body responds. Earlier today, we learned that the Bears have not yet determined his expected return date, but a progression plan is in place with specific benchmarks. He should be rostered in 10- and 12-team leagues.

He practiced in full each of the last two days after a limited session on Wednesday. Bowers should be started with confidence in Week 5, though it looks like the knee injury will continue to limit his practice reps.

Stevenson told Mike Reiss that he’s “ready to go” and that he just got “rolled up on” late in Week 4’s win over the Bills. We’d be surprised if he didn’t play on Sunday and he should be regarded on the optimistic side of questionable.

Slater suffered a high-ankle sprain and had surgery — a tight-rope procedure — to try to accelerate his return. Sounds like a pretty severe version of a high-ankle sprain. He’ll miss at least the next four weeks and be eligible to return in Week 9. The Bolts are dealing with a ton of injuries along their offensive line and it’s currently unknown how that will shake out for Week 5, which we’re sure Justin Herbert is loving.

The Bears have a progression plan in place for Williams’ rehab, and per Johnson, the star quarterback is “right on track.” Williams resumed throwing “a little bit the other day.” Although the team does not yet know when Williams will retake the field on game day, they have set up a series of benchmarks for him to hit. Their Week 7 Thursday Night Football game could complicate things. Bringing Williams back in Week 6 would give him a short turnaround, and he could be sore after his first game back. Expect them to handle this cautiously. The Bears currently sit in second in the NFC North with a 3-1 record.

Dalton was demoted to the QB3 spot after throwing an end zone interception while Jalen Hurts was going through a concussion check in Week 3. Someone will take his spot on the active roster. We just don’t know who that will be. Eagles general manager Howie Roseman is making moves. Expect more to follow.

As expected, he’ll start and be on the QB1/QB2 borderline against an extremely pesky and attacking Vikings defense that has held down quarterback scoring quite well so far this year.

The Saints gave Olave a rest day on Wednesday. He then logged a limited practice on Thursday, listed with a new foot injury, and was reportedly seen sporting a walking boot after practice. ESPN’s Kat Terrell notes, however, that “walking boots are often a precautionary measure.” The fact that the team cleared him right away is reassuring. He can be treated as a low-end WR1, as usual. Olave later told Terrell that his “foot got a little bruised in Thursday’s practice, but he’s good.”

Kamara practiced on Thursday and seems likely to be the “lead” back in New Orleans’ committee against Minnesota on Sunday. If he is ruled out, Kendre Miller and CJ Donaldson will receive boosts.
