NFC North teams addressed key developments as Chicago Bears head coach Ben Johnson highlighted plans to involve wide receiver Luther Burden across all field levels, while defensive end Montez Sweat took responsibility for an accidental failed drug test. Meanwhile, Detroit Lions tight end Sam LaPorta clarified comments regarding his contract and desire for long-term security in Detroit.

Elsewhere in the division, Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones is day-to-day following an insignificant knee injury sustained in Week 7, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Minnesota quarterback Kyler Murray also noted that despite moving the ball well in their Week 7 victory, the offense must focus on finishing drives in the end zone.
