ATL RB Damien Williams (Ribs) has been placed on IR.

ATL RB Damien Williams (ribs) ruled out for Week 2.

ATL RB Damien Williams (Ribs) not at practice Friday.

The move is suspicious in terms of Williams availability for Sunday, and a pair of DNPs to start the week is equally as ominous. We'll get a better idea with his game status tomorrow, but we're not expecting the best.

Cordarrelle Patterson was forced to handle most of the rushing when he went down Sunday, though a full game absence could yield an appearance from rookie grinder Tyler Allgeier. Williams will need to practice by Friday to erase any doubt of his availability.

David Montgomery (shoulder/groin/glute) logged a DNP Wednesday while Allen Robinson, Marquise Goodwin, and Damien Williams all returned to practice ahead of the Bears matchup with the Green Bay Packers on Sunday night. It is clear from the practice report listing that Montgomery is banged up and today could just be a maintenance day but we won't know more until later in the week. If Montgomery were forced to miss, Khalil Herbert would lead the Bears backfield with the (likely) returning Damien Williams available to back him up. Allen Robinson looks as though he could be ready to make his return as well and would slot in as one of the top receivers alongside Darnell Mooney. Marquise Goodwin looks primed to return after a one week absence and should slot back in as the third receiver for the Bears. It will be important to monitor the Bears practice report in the coming days.

Allen Robinson has been listed doubtful for Sunday's game against the Arizona Cardinals while Marquise Goodwin and Damien Williams have been listed out. If Robinson were to be officially ruled out, Darnell Mooney would once again be the top receiver for the Bears with Damiere Byrd and Jakeem Grant also likely to play a larger role in the offense. With Williams once again out, Khalil Herbert would remain the unquestioned number two back behind David Montgomery with Ryan Nall also available in case of an emergency.

Allen Robinson, Marquise Goodwin, and Damien Williams all logged DNPs Thursday while Cole Kmet returned to practice. If Robinson were to miss, Darnell Mooney would once again be the top receiver for the Bears with Goodwin (also DNP today) and Damiere Byrd also likely to play a larger role in the offense. If Damien Williams were once again to miss, Khalil Herbert would remain the unquestioned number two back behind David Montgomery with Ryan Nall also available in case of an emergency. Cole Kmet returned to practice today and seems to be trending in the right direction to play this weekend. He would be the primary tight end with Jimmy Graham also available. It will be important to monitor the official game designations of the Chicago pass-catchers released Friday on the injury report.

Allen Robinson, Marquise Goodwin, Damien Williams, and Cole Kmet all logged DNPs Wednesday ahead of their matchup Sunday with the Arizona Cardinals. If Robinson were to miss, Darnell Mooney would once again be the top receiver for the Bears with Goodwin (also DNP today) and Damiere Byrd also available and likely to play a larger role in the offense. If Damien Williams were once again to miss Khalil herbert would remain the unquestioned number two back behind David Montgomery with Ryan Nall also available in case of an emergency. If Cole Kmet were unable to suit up this weekend, Jimmy Graham would be a good value option at tight end with Jesse James likely to back him up. It will be important to monitor the Bears practice report as the week progresses as value at multiple positions could open up.

In a lengthy Bears injury report Allen Robinson has been listed doubtful for Thursday, Damien Williams has been listed out, Marquise Goodwin has been listed questionable and Isaiah Coulter has been elevated from the practice squad. Allen Robinson still looks unlikely to make his return and will probably miss his second straight game meaning Darnell Mooney will be the top receiver for Andy Dalton (Justin Fields was ruled out earlier in the week) with Marquise Goodwin (questionable) and Damiere Byrd also playing a role in the passing game. The tight ends Cole Kmet and Jimmy Graham could see some more targets with Robinson sidelined as well. With Damien Williams once again ruled out Ryan Nall should serve as the third running back behind David Montgomery and Khalil Herbert. Isaiah Coulter has once again been elevated from the practice squad but should only be expected to serve in a depth role (played one snap Sunday).
