Chicago’s Inactives

WR - Velus Jones Jr.

Apparently, teams announce their QB3 as inactive, yet he’ll dress and only play in case of emergency.

Also, tight end Robert Tonyan is active, so his back issue was not a big deal.

WR - Christian Watson

RB - Emanuel Wilson

S - Anthony Johnson Jr.

S - Zayne Anderson

LB - Brenton Cox Jr.

OL - Caleb Jones

OL - Sean Rhyan
