The Story in 60 Seconds

The Chicago Bears placed defensive tackle Kentavius Street on injured reserve with a knee injury that head coach Ben Johnson says will likely sideline him for the rest of the season. Following their 34-17 win over the Seattle Seahawks, the 6-2 Bears are preparing for a Week 9 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers while monitoring several injuries. Running back Kyle Monangai and starting left tackle Theo Benedet both missed practice, while offensive lineman Braxton Jones is also reportedly expected to miss the remainder of the year.

Quarterback Caleb Williams addressed public criticism regarding his painted nails and emotional reactions, stating his focus remains strictly on winning games and helping his team.
