The Chicago Bears will host the Carolina Panthers on Thursday Night Football as the Week 10 NFL schedule gets underway. Both teams are currently struggling, each holding one of the worst records in the NFL.

The Bears find themselves at the bottom of the NFC North with a 2-7 record, having faced back-to-back defeats, including a 24-17 loss to the New Orleans Saints last time out.
Their only two victories this season came on the road against the Washington Commanders and at home against the Las Vegas Raiders, but they will believe the home field advantage could be the slight edge here as they look to get over the hump.
Similarly, the Panthers are positioned at the foot of the NFC South with a 1-7 record, and come into this encounter off the back of their recent 27-13 loss against the Indianapolis Colts this past Sunday.

Bears and Panthers rosters & injury reports
Chicago Bears team news
The Bears' starting quarterback Justin Fields, who hasn’t played since Week 6, was limited in Monday's walk-through and is listed as day-to-day. The visitors may not want to rush Fields back on a short week, especially considering they are likely to fall out of playoff contention anyways.
Tyson Bagent will start if Fields is still out, albeit he has struggled since starring on his debut against the Raiders. Running back Khalil Herbert is still out, leaving D'Onta Foreman to be the lead back. Leading tackler linebacker Termaine Edmundsis also a major doubt for this Thursday night clash with the Panthers.

Carolina Panthers team news
The Panthers arguably have the deepest list of players on the injured reserve (12) in the NFL and will likely be missing their best player, All-Pro pass rusher Brian Burns, with a concussion. It's been a relatively rough season for the No. 1 overall pick Bryce Young, especially last week when he struggled while the No. 2 overall pick, CJ Stroud, excelled for the Texans. He now has an opportunity to make a comeback on Thursday's prime time clash.
