This is now the open thread for today’s game, so if you were looking for the inactives just scroll down.

Keep in mind all open threads are rated WCG-MA, so enter at your own risk!

UPDATE: Starting safeties Jaquan Brisker and Eddie Jackson were both taken to the locker room and are both listed as questionable to return.

Join us on our 2nd City Gridiron video channel after the game ends with our new postgame host, Bill Zimmerman, and our new postgame show, Not Your Average Bears Postgame Show! Once the show wraps, we’ll publish it on our podcast channel.

The inactive lists are out from both the Chicago Bears and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for today’s game in hot and steamy Florida, and there are some significant changes.

Chicago’s Inactives

QB - Tyson Bagent (Emergency third QB)

CB - Josh Blackwell

RG - Nate Davis

WR - Equanimeous St. Brown

RB - D’Onta Foreman

DE - Khalild Kareem

Ja’Tyre Carer is expected to start at right guard in place of Davis, and there’s this nugget about Roschin Johnson...

Roschon Johnson expected to see more playing time today. He impressed in limited time last week.

He’s also the #Bears best pass blocker out of the RB’s. https://t.co/4aMdfvLlgR
