- The Philadelphia Eagles enter the game as 3.5-point favorites, with odds favoring them despite injuries to key players like Dallas Goedert, prompting the signing of veteran tight end Zach Ertz.
- The Bears, down to their third-string quarterback, are relying heavily on running backs D’Onta Foreman and Khalil Herbert to exploit the Eagles' run defense, which has allowed 4.2 yards per carry this season.
- Backup Bears quarterback Tyson Bagent was sidelined due to a concussion, clearing the way for Keenum to start after practicing all week.
- Zach Ertz was elevated from the Eagles' practice squad for the game, marking his return to the team after last playing for them in 2021, though his immediate role remains uncertain following his recent ACL injury.
