10/15 6AM: Chicago Bears: Is Caleb Williams Back?
Hour 1: Kap & J. Hood discussed Chicago Bears Head Coach Ben Johnson with updates on Caleb Williams. Caleb was a full go in a walkthrough today. Promising? Definitely. They're going to need him to hang in this game. Looks like Penix will be a go as well, so we avoid Tua unfortunately. Who rushes the passer opposite Booker on Sunday? Dayo is out again, and not to disqualify Shemarr Turner already, but in his 5 career games he's been an interior DL, same with most of the roster. Daniel Hardy has been mainly a special teamer, but that's where he's listed on the depth chart.

Hour 1: Kap & J. Hood discussed Montez Sweat was suspended for PEDs it opens the door for the name that we heard all from Ryan Poles all offseason was going to be a difference maker, Shemarr Turner. He’s a huge question mark with a huge hole to fill. Do they still need to add DL? What defensive group worries you the most? I think preseason the consensus was Defensive line, but the fact that Poles reverse-engineer the defense to provide “pressure from the secondary” for a god awful secondary.
