D'Andre Swift (quad) was limited in Wednesday's practice.
This is the first we're hearing of a quad injury for Swift, though a limited practice to start the week is usually not a cause for concern. Even if Swift doesn't miss any time because of the injury, it could give head coach Ben Johnson a reason to increase the workload for rookie running back Kyle Monangai. Swift coughed up a fumble in Week 2 and is averaging a pedestrian 4.0 yards per carry despite the Bears' line looking vastly improved compared to 2024. Swift is still the top option in the Chicago backfield, but fantasy managers will want to keep an eye on this quad issue going forward.

Bears LB T.J. Edwards (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday.
Edwards missed Week 1 with a hamstring injury but was good to go for Week 2's game against the Lions. This could just be maintenance, but a DNP on Wednesday is an ominous start to the week. The Bears are likely to be down multiple starting cornerbacks on Sunday as well. All signs point to both Chicago and Dallas scoring points with ease in their Week 3 matchup.

Bears CB Kyler Gordon (hamstring) did not practice Wednesday.
Gordon missed last week's game with the same hamstring injury. The Bears also lost cornerback Jaylon Johnson to a season-ending injury in that contest, potentially leaving them severely undermanned in the secondary heading into Week 3. Expect Dak Prescott and the Cowboys to have no issues lighting up the scoreboard in a likely shootout with Chicago this week.

49ers head coach Kyle Shanahan said it is possible that Brock Purdy (toe) could serve as the No. 2 quarterback in Week 3 against the Cardinals.
Purdy will be limited at Wednesday's practice, which typically puts players on track to play. Turf toe injuries must be treated carefully and take a while to fully heal, if surgery can be avoided. Purdy's limited participation still bodes positively for his availability in the coming weeks. He's worth stashing on benches for the time being.
