Bears News; Bears Week 17 inactives: Cole Kmet IN, D'Onta Foreman OUT vs. Falcons

[Ditka]

The Chicago Bears (6-9) have released their inactives ahead of their Week 17 game against the Atlanta Falcons (7-8), where the Bears are looking to record back-to-back wins to close out 2023. The good news is Chicago will have tight end Cole Kmet in the lineup. Kmet suffered a knee injury in Week 16, and he only practiced (in limited fashion) on Friday. Kmet being active is huge for the Bears’ passing game, as Justin Fields will have his top two targets (DJ Moore and Kmet) available. Wide receiver Darnell Mooney was previously ruled out with a concussion, and running back D’Onta Foreman was a surprise inactive. Elsewhere, there aren’t any real surprises. Here’s a look at the Bears’ inactives:

• RB D’Onta Foreman
• WR Darnell Mooney
• LB DeMarquis Gates
• QB Nathan Peterman
• DB Quindell Johnson
• OL Ja’Tyre Carter

Also, a look at the Falcons’ inactives:

• QB Logan Woodside
• OL Jovaughn Gwyn
• DL Tommy Togiai
• OL John Leglue
• TE John FitzPatrick
• DL Joe Gaziano
