Head coach Matt Eberflus said he believed that Allen would play after missing two games with a heel issue, and that premonition was correct. Allen was listed as active and will provide a significant boost to a passing game in need of his quick separation ability. He enters the fray a game after Rome Odunze and Cole Kmet made their mark, providing quality options for quarterback Caleb Williams.
Having Billings and Byard available is also a big deal. Billings has provided solid interior pressure this season, a key component to stopping pocket passer Matthew Stafford. Byard is a vital cog in a secondary that stands as this team’s strength.
Here’s the full list of Bears inactives:
- RB/WR Velus Jones Jr.
- FB Khari Blasingame
- DL Dominique Robinson
- DB Terrell Smith
- OL Bill Murray
- DT Zacch Pickens
