Bears Final Week 1 Injury Report: Team receives great news regarding two Pro Bowl stars ahead of clash vs. Titans

The Chicago Bears have released the final injury report for Week 1's matchup against the Tennessee Titans following Friday's practice.

As of Friday afternoon, both teams each ruled players out for this weekend's matchup. The Bears ruled out second-year defensive tackle Zacch Pickens with a groin injury while the Titans ruled out safety Jamal Adams with a hip injury and linebacker Otis Reese with a concussion.

Good news for the Bears, wide receiver Keenan Allen (heel) and defensive end Montez Sweat (toe) were full participants during the final day of practice. Both 2023 Pro Bowlers will be listed as questionable going into the weekend. Here's the team's full injury report from Friday:

Following practice, Bears head coach Matt Eberflus said that he expects Allen and Sweat to play against the Titans, a major boost for rookie quarterback Caleb Williams having his sure-handed target on the field for his first regular season game and the defense having its top edge rusher on the field.

Things are also looking up for the depth on the Bears' offensive line going into Sunday's game and the unit will need it going up against the Titans defensive front. Rookie tackle Kiran Amegadjie (quad) and Ryan Bates (shoulder) were each listed as full participants and neither will have an injury designation for Sunday.

The Bears did have one player join the list on Friday in defensive end Darrell Taylor. Taylor did not practice after suffering a foot injury on Thursday and is listed as questionable. The Bears traded for Taylor following the final preseason game , he is expected to work out during pregame to determine if he can go, per Eberflus .

Veteran DeMarcus Walker is also listed as questionable after popping up on the report on Thursday with a groin injury. The team is currently carrying six total players at the position on the 53-man roster. If Taylor or Walker are unable to go, it would lead to a major opportunity for rookie edge rusher Austin Booker to get some solid playtime and potentially be a starter off the edge in his regular season debut.

With Pickens ruled out for Sunday's game, expect to see the Bears elevate Sam Roberts from the practice squad in his place over the weekend. Roberts and Chris Harris will serve as the immediate backups on the interior of the defensive front. The team is also expected to elevate long snapper Scott Daly for Sunday's game.

As for the Titans, wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins (knee) and cornerback Chidobe Awuzie (calf) were officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game. Hopkins was seen practicing with no leg sleeve on Friday.
