The Chicago Bears have released their inactives ahead of their Week 4 game against the Denver Broncos, where Chicago desperately needs a win as they look to snap an active 13-game losing streak.
The big news is receiver Chase Claypool is a healthy scratch for today’s game, which was previously reported by NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport. The move comes after Claypool’s comments to the media this week, where he questioned whether the coaching staff was putting him in the best position to succeed.
