Morgan Moses - Questionable to play Thursday Moses (foot) is questionable to play Thursday versus the Bears.

Impact Moses was remained limited all week as he nurses a foot injury that he suffered in Week 6 against the Jets, and his status for Week 7 is uncertain as a result. If he is ultimately unable to go, Caleb Lomu would stand to draw the start at right tackle against Chicago on Thursday Night Football.

Channing Canada - Won't play against Chicago Canada (hamstring) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Bears.

Impact Canada, Carlton Davis (neck) and Karon Prunty (hamstring) will all be sidelined for Thursday night's contest, which leaves Christian Gonzalez and Charles Woods as the starters at outside cornerback while Kindle Vildor and Elliott Davison provide depth. It will be the fourth consecutive game that Canada will miss due to a hamstring injury, and his next chance to return is Week 8 against the Dolphins on Sunday, Nov. 1.

Karon Prunty - Missing third consecutive game Prunty (hamstring) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against Chicago.

Impact Prunty will be sidelined for a third-straight game due to a hamstring injury that he picked up during the Patriots' Week 4 win over the Bills. With Carlton Davis (neck) and Channing Canada (hamstring) also ruled out, Charles Woods and Christian Gonzalez will serve as the Patriots' starting outside cornerbacks for Thursday night's game while Elliott Davison and Kindle Vildor provide depth at the position. Prunty's next chance to play is Week 8 against the Dolphins on Sunday, Nov. 1.

Jonah Jackson - Set for Thursday night Jackson (hip/quadricep) does not have any injury designation ahead of Thursday night's game against the Patriots.

Impact Jackson picked up multiple injuries in the Bears' Week 6 win over the Falcons. The offensive guard was able to upgrade his practice participation in every session during the team's short turnaround ahead of Thursday Night Football and is all set to suit up for the contest against the Patriots.

Ben Brown - Ruled out for TNF Brown (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Bears.

Impact Brown injured his knee during the fourth quarter of Sunday's 26-19 win over the Jets. He was held out of all three practices during Week 7 prep, and with both Brown and Alijah Vera-Tucker (hamstring) sidelined Thursday, the Patriots will likely turn to Matt Pryor and Walter Rouse to serve as the starting guards against Chicago. Brown will aim to recover enough to return for Week 8 against Miami on Sunday, Nov. 1.

Jack Sanborn - Won't play Thursday Sanborn (concussion) is officially listed as out for Thursday's game versus the Patriots.

Impact The Bears held only walk-through practices ahead of Thursday's contest, but Sanborn was estimated as a nonparticipant Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, and he'll now miss his first game of the season in Week 7. Most of his snaps so far in 2026 have come on special teams, so Chicago will have to find a way to try to replace his production in that phase.
