Moore is officially listed as questionable with a quad injury. Schefter also confirmed that Bears RB D’Andre Swift will play against the 49ers as well. Swift is also listed as questionable with a quad injury.</p><p>This is great news for a Bears team that desperately needs a win, if only for morale purposes. Moore and Swift are important pieces of Chicago’s offense, so having them on the field is a big lift.</p><p>The 49ers have not been the fearsome team of recent memory, but they are still a tough out for any NFL team. It is big for the Bears to have Moore and Swift available.</p><p>Moore is having a down year after a career season in 2023. He has hauled in 62 receptions for 663 yards and five touchdowns through 12 games. However, he’s started to look like his old self during the month of November.</p><p>Swift is the lead back in Chicago and is on pace to repeat his statistics from 2023 with Philadelphia.

They have a coach on the hot seat, a new offensive coordinator, and a rookie quarterback in Caleb Williams who is being beat to hell behind a catastrophically bad offensive line.</p><p>Oh, and then there are the injuries. Fortunately, two players who have been on the Bears injury list throughout the week are <a href="https://x.com/RapSheet/status/1860582372917518483" rel="noopener">trending upwards</a> as we approach kickoff for <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/vikings-vs-bears-predictions-pick-odds-spread-for-nfl-week-12-2024">Chicago’s must-win home matchup with the Minnesota Vikings</a> on Sunday afternoon.</p><p>Per NFL insider Ian Rapoport:</p><p>“The Bears are confident that both RB D’Andre Swift (groin) and WR Keenan Allen (ankle) will play today. Both are listed as questionable.”</p><p>D’Andre Swift has been hit-or-miss all season long, with a four-game stretch in the middle of the season in which he was one of the most productive backs in the NFL. In the three games since Chicago’s last-second loss to the Washington Commanders, Swift has failed to top the 100-total-yard mark, and last week, Swift only logged four more carries than backup running back Roschon Johnson.</p><p>Keenan Allen hasn’t been nearly as much of a factor as Bears general manager Ryan Poles likely envisioned he would be when <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bears-news-keenan-allen-trade-gm-expecting-deadlier-offense-caleb-williams-rumors">Chicago traded for the veteran receiver back in March</a>. But the Bears offense has been a disaster for much of the season, and the 32-year-old Allen is showing his age, hauling in just 30 receptions for 282 yards and a pair of touchdowns this year. It’s fair to say that he’s become the fourth option in Chicago’s passing attack behind DJ Moore, Rome Odunze and Cole Kmet.</p><p>Against a Minnesota Vikings defense that blitzes the hell out of quarterbacks and has picked off more passes (16) than any other unit in the league, Caleb Williams will need all of the help he can get.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Left tackle Braxton Jones made a point to change that in Week 11 against the Green Bay Packers.</p><p>In the third quarter, running back D’Andre Swift broke free for a 39-yard touchdown along the left sideline. However, Swift’s run was not the most impressive part of the play. Jones cleared the way for Swift, pulling from his position on the line to pancake Packers safety Evan Williams on the outside.</p><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">This lead block by Braxton Jones 😳</p><p>📺: <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/GBvsCHI?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#GBvsCHI</a> on FOX<br>📱: <a href="https://t.co/waVpO8ZBqG">https://t.co/waVpO8ZBqG</a> <a href="https://t.co/3hGNY7wOoi">pic.twitter.com/3hGNY7wOoi</a></p><p>— NFL (@NFL) <a href="https://twitter.com/NFL/status/1858239874991554921?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 17, 2024</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p> </p><p> </p><p>Jones out-weighs Williams by over 100 pounds and showed off his size on the play. Williams appeared to not see him until it was too late, allowing Jones to humiliate him with a devastating lead block.</p><p>After hitting the hole opened up by Jones, Swift shook the Packers’ other safety, Xavier McKinney, out of his shoes en route to the end zone. The result of the play frustrated McKinney, who threw his helmet on the sideline and <a href="https://x.com/DKSportsbook/status/1858243291826786513" rel="noopener">slammed a tablet</a> into the bench.</p><p>Swift’s score put the Bears back on top of the Packers for the time being. Chicago entered the game as sizeable underdogs in their first game since <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/bears-news-head-coach-matt-eberflus-fires-shane-waldron">firing offensive coordinator Shane Waldron</a>. The touchdown run gave the Bears a 19-14 lead and recorded the team’s most points since Week 6.</p><h2><b>Bears’ offensive line holding up against Packers</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Matt-Eberflus-3.jpg"><figcaption>Mark J. Rebilas-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>With Jones leading the way, the Bears offensive line has responded well to the criticism they faced in recent weeks with a formidable performance through three quarters in Week 11. After ceding 10 sacks to the New England Patriots in Week 10, Chicago has only allowed Caleb Williams to be taken down once through the first three quarters.</p><p>The Packers’ pass rush is led by Rashan Gary, who led the team with nine sacks in 2023. However, Week 11 is their first game since trading away Gary’s running mate, veteran Preston Smith. Smith had 2.5 sacks on the year before the trade, tied with Gary for second on the team behind nose tackle Devonte Wyatt.</p><p>Without Smith, the Packers started former first-round pick Lukas Van Ness at defensive end. Van Ness’ inefficiency early in his career has led to a mere 44.7 PFF grade on the year, making him one of the site’s lowest-rated edge rushers.</p><p>Regardless of the state of Green Bay’s defense, the performance from the Bears’ offensive line has been encouraging. Williams has also been more consistent in the game than he has been in previous weeks, leading to the team’s best offensive performance in a month.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
