  • Bears' DeAndre Carter: Placed on IR, done for season

    Carter (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

    It effectively ends Carter's 2024 season, as he'll be required to miss the team's final four contests after he was injured in Chicago's Week 14 loss to the 49ers. Carter finishes the year with nine catches for 72 yards on 14 targets. His main contributions came on special teams, where Carter returned 15 kickoffs for 479 yards and 17 punts for 158 yards. Carter also lost one fumble. Josh Blackwell took over punt-return duties following Carter's injury.

  • Bears' Marcedes Lewis: No usage in passing game in Week 15

    Lewis went without a target in Sunday's 38-13 loss to the 49ers while playing six of the Bears' 53 snaps on offense.

    Lewis has suited up in each of Chicago's first 13 games of the season, but he's played more than 20 snaps on offense on just one occasion and has logged only one target on the campaign. Rather than representing a viable pass-catching threat, the 40-year-old tight end -- the second-oldest player in the NFL -- brings most of his value as a positive locker-room presence and as a reliable blocker at this stage of his career.

  • Bears' Gerald Everett: Continues to cede snaps to Kmet

    Everett went without a target while playing eight of the Bears' 53 snaps on offense in Sunday's 38-13 loss to the 49ers.

    For the fourth game in a row, Everett's snap count sat in the single digits while starter Cole Kmet (49) continued to dominate the playing time at tight end. Everett's familiarity with offensive coordinator Shane Waldron from their time together in 2021 with Seattle likely played a part in Everett seeing a more sizable role earlier in the season, but with Waldron having since been fired, the 30-year-old's snaps will likely remain limited down the stretch.

  • Bears' Collin Johnson: Records first catch of season

    Johnson played five of the Bears' 53 snaps on offense and finished with a six-yard reception on his lone target in Sunday's 38-13 loss to the 49ers.

    Johnson's reception -- his first of the season -- came on the Bears' final drive of the game, when interim head coach Thomas had already subbed out most of Chicago's key players amid the blowout. The 27-year-old remains buried on the depth chart at receiver and will likely play most of his snaps on special teams while Chicago has DJ Moore, Keenan Allen and Rome Odunze available.

  • Bears' Tyson Bagent: Mops up in blowout loss

    Bagent played four snaps and completed his lone pass attempt for a six-yard gain in Sunday's 38-13 loss to the 49ers.

    The second-year quarterback made his third appearance of the season Sunday, with all having come at the tail end of blowout wins or losses with starter Caleb Williams having thus far enjoyed good health during his rookie campaign. Even with the 4-9 Bears on the cusp of being eliminated from playoff contention, don't expect Bagent to get any starts over the final four contests while Chicago remains committed to Williams as its present and long-term solution under center.

  • Bears' Cole Kmet: Not targeted in Week 14 loss

    Kmet didn't see a single target in Chicago's 38-13 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

    Despite the Bears playing from behind all afternoon, Caleb Williams attempted just 23 passes. Chicago simply couldn't move the football versus San Francisco and ran just 52 offensive plays. Kmet was on the field for 92 percent of the offensive downs, and he's played at least 92 percent of the snaps in five consecutive games. That playing time alone keeps him on the fantasy radar ahead of a Week 15 date with the Vikings.
