Gets green light to face Texans Mack (shoulder) has been deemed active for Sunday's game against Houston.
Impact The three-time All-Pro battled through a back issue to suit up last Sunday against the Lions, ultimately fielding 81 percent of the defensive workload in a losing effort. A shoulder injury kept him out of practice Wednesday and Thursday, but partial participation from the 29-year-old Friday signaled he would have a chance to face Houston. Mack has sustained a high level of play this season overall, as he currently leads the NFC in Pro Bowl voting among outside linebackers. He does, however, carry a four-game sack drought into Week 14.

Questionable but expected to play Mack (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game against Houston but is expected to suit up, Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Impact Mack has consistently played through questionable tags all season while dealing with a back issue, and it appears that pattern is set to continue with this new shoulder injury. Despite his limitations due to injury, Mack has compiled a respectable 6.5 sacks this season, though he hasn't posted one since Week 8.

Dealing with new injury Mack (shoulder) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice.
Impact Mack has manged his practice reps during the season due to a back issue, as he seems to be dealing with a new injury. Per Adam Jahns of The Athletic, Mack is classified as day-to-day, so the issue doesn't appear to be too serious. Mack's participation level at practice during the rest of the week will be a better indicator of his chances to play Sunday against the Texans.

All clear to face Detroit Mack (back) is active for Chicago's Week 13 matchup against the Lions.
Impact The five-time Pro Bowler did not practice with the team Wednesday or Thursday, but he was able to log a limited session Friday. Mack also had his practice workload curtailed in late-October because of a back issue, but he still has not missed a game in 2020. He's gone three consecutive outings without a sack after posting five between Weeks 5 and 8.

No practice Thursday Mack (back) did not practice Thursday.
Impact Mack hasn't practice in any capacity this week, but it sounds like he still has a fair shot to suit up against the Lions on Sunday. Coach Matt Nagy called Mack's absence from practice "precautionary," per PrideOfDetroit.com. The star pass rusher has 6.5 sacks through 11 contests.

Late injury add Mack (back) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice.
Impact Mack was a late add to the revised injury report Wednesday with the back issue, an injury that has forced him to miss practice time already this season. It's likely that Mack's absence was due to soreness and that it was more of a preventative measure, but it's unclear at this point. Mack's participation level at practice during the rest of the week will be a better indicator of his chances to play Sunday against the Lions.
