The Chicago Bears and New Orleans Saints kick off their Wild Card game at 4:40 p.m. ET, airing on CBS. In the meantime, both teams declared their inactives for the game.
Chicago Bears inactives
CB Buster Skrine, WR Darnell Mooney, LB Roquan Smith, CB Jaylon Johnson, OL Lachavious Simmons, NY Daniel McCullers, OLB Trevis Gipson
The impact
The Bears originally listed Mooney and Smith as questionable on their final injury report. On Saturday, Chicago downgraded both players to out. Johnson was listed as questionable with a shoulder injury, but will not be able to go.
New Orleans Saints inactives
DE Trey Hendrickson, CB Ken Crawley, OL Derrick Kelly, WR Austin Carr, DL Malcolm Roach, RB Ty Montgomery, WR Juwan Johnson
The impact
The biggest news is what we knew was coming. Alvin Kamara and Michael Thomas are both active after being activated off injured reserve. Kamara was isolated all week due to COVID-19, so it’s unclear if he’ll lose much of his workload to Latavius Murray. The big news on defense was also known earlier this week, with defensive end Trey Hendrickson inactive due to a neck injury. He led the team in sacks this season.
