As the Chicago Bears prepare to face the New Orleans Saints on October 19, 2025, the team has received some important roster boosts. Just a few days before the game, the Bears announced that they have activated running back Travis Homer from the reserve/injured list. The team also elevated defensive lineman Jonathan Ford and kicker Jake Moody from the practice squad for the upcoming matchup.
In other injury news, the Bears have downgraded defensive lineman Austin Booker and linebacker Amen Ogbongbemiga to out, as they remain on the reserve/injured list. However, the team has received a significant boost with the expected return of star running back D'Andre Swift, who said, "I can't wait. Another opportunity against a good opponent coming in. Try to stay on the track that we're on. Just another opportunity."
The Bears are currently 3-2 on the season and looking to build momentum as they take on the struggling Saints, who are 1-5. Quarterback Caleb Williams, the Bears' first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, has been quietly making strides and will look to continue his positive streak against the Saints. With these roster moves and the return of key players, the Bears are well-positioned to secure a crucial win and keep their playoff hopes alive.
