The Story in 60 Seconds

The Chicago Bears suffered key defensive injuries alongside a 31-7 blowout loss to the Green Bay Packers. Starting cornerback Tyrique Stevenson and linebacker T.J. Edwards both sustained hamstring injuries during the game, while starting defensive end Dayo Odeyingbo exited early due to a quad issue.
