The Chicago Bears are winners of three straight games and have the New Orleans Saints next on the schedule.
They seek to continue their positive momentum going into this NFC tilt, and it appears they'll have DJ Moore will be active on Sunday. Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reported that Moore was a full participant in Friday's practice, and he has no injury designation for the contest. Moore is set to play, which didn't appear to be in the cards for the veteran earlier this week.
Bears' DJ Moore off Injury Report Ahead of Week 7
During the win over the Commanders in Week 6, Moore was seen grimacing in pain and had to leave the game for a couple of days. He ultimately finished out the matchup but went to the hospital after the game, according to head coach Ben Johnson. When speaking to the media earlier in the week, Johnson added that Moore was day-to-day going forward.
It's a great development that Moore's health improved as the week progressed, and he should be ready to roll on gameday. This hasn't been the start that Moore envisioned this season, ranking second on the team in catches (19) and receiving yards (215). The 28-year-old needs to find a way to get more involved in the offense, as he's recorded 46 or fewer receiving yards in four straight games.
His slow start has led to his name being included in trade talks, but the Bears are likely focused on keeping him around and seeing what he can develop in this offensive system.
Considering that he's off the injury report, Moore will likely have his normal workload in this contest. He's played in over 75% of the offensive snaps in every game. The veteran also has a history of performing well against the Saints. Moore has faced off against them 10 times, and in those outings, he has 37 catches with 577 receiving yards and five touchdowns.
The Bears' passing attack has been spread out through five games, as six different players have seen double-digit targets. This is how they've been able to keep things balanced, but Moore's breakout performance has to be on the docket soon.
Whether or not that happens against the Saints remains to be seen, but having him out there is always great news for Chicago.
