Making progress after surgery
Mack (foot) did some individual drills at June minicamp, the Chargers' official website reports.
Analysis: Chargers coach Brandon Staley didn't comment on expectations for training camp but did suggest Mack is on track to play Week 1, while Mack himself said he should be ready for the start of camp, per TSN. The 31-year-old pass rusher was traded for second- and sixth-round picks this offseason, netting the Bears a solid return even after his foot surgery in late November. Mack did have six sacks in seven games last year, and a return to top form or something near it could give the Chargers the best…read more

Restructures deal
Mack (foot) restructured his contract with the Chargers on Friday to clear up $9 million in cap space, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
Analysis: Mack has agreed to convert $13.5 million of his 2022 salary into a signing bonus, a move which helps his new team free up a significant amount of additional cap space. The star pass rusher, whose 2021 campaign ended early due to foot surgery, could be primed for a resurgence while lining up alongside Joey Bosa in the 2022 season.

Traded to Chargers
The Bears are slated to trade Mack (foot) to the Chargers in exchange for a 2022 second-round draft pick along with a 2023 sixth-rounder, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: The deal, which is in line to become official next week, will provide the Chargers' pass rush (which also features Joey Bosa) with a huge boost heading into the 2022 campaign. Mack, who landed on IR last November due to a foot injury that required surgery, finished up his last season with Chicago with 19 tackles and six sacks over the course of seven games.

Ends season on injured reserve
Mack underwent season-ending foot surgery and was placed on injured reserve Nov. 19 after recording 19 tackles and six sacks over seven games.
Analysis: Mack had missed just two games through his first seven years in the NFL, and he should have enough time to recover and rehab before the 2022 season. He'll turn 31 in February, and his six-year contract extension has three seasons (but no guaranteed money) remaining.

Getting season-ending surgery
Chicago placed Mack on injured reserve Friday, Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site reports. He'll undergo season-ending surgery on his left foot next week.
Analysis: The Bears were hoping Mack could return after resting for a few weeks, but he apparently hasn't progressed the way they had hoped. He last played Week 7 and now finishes his eighth NFL season with 19 tackles, six sacks and one fumble recovery in seven games. Mack missed just two games through his first seven years in the league, and he should have enough time for recovery and rehab before Week 1 of the 2022 seaosn.

Mack (foot) was absent from practice Wednesday.
Analysis: Mack has had three weeks to recover since originally suffering the injury, but he still wasn't quite ready to go Wednesday. He still has two more practices to show he can play against the Ravens on Sunday.

Chance to return Sunday
Coach Matt Nagy said Monday that he's "hoping" Mack (foot) will be able to return for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Analysis: Mack has missed the last two games with a foot injury, but it's encouraging that Nagy didn't immediately rule him out following the Bears' Week 10 bye. Prior to his injury, the 30-year-old racked up 19 tackles (15 solo), six sacks and a fumble recovery across the first seven games of the season.

Not playing Monday
Mack (foot) has been ruled out for Monday's game at Pittsburgh.
Analysis: Mack suffered a foot injury Week 3 but was able to power through it four four consecutive contests. Notably, he also put together a five-game stretch in which he recorded at least one sack per game Weeks 2 through 6. But he'll now take a seat for a second straight outing, which may be an intentional decision by the Bears with a Week 10 bye on tap. Mack's next chance to play will arrive Sunday, Nov. 21 against the Ravens.

DNP on Thursday
Mack (foot) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice.
Analysis: The 30-year-old was inactive for what was the Bears' first practice of the week, prior to meeting the Steelers on Monday night. Mack's absence comes as no surprise, as he has appeared on the injury report for many weeks now with the nagging foot injury. He missed the team's Week 8 matchup with the 49ers, his first missed contest of the year, and his status is worth monitoring in the coming days. If he can't go on MNF, Trevis Gipson will once again see an increased role on defense.

Day-to-day with foot injury
Coach Matt Nagy said Monday that Mack (foot) will continue to be day-to-day, Larry Mayer of the Bears' official site reports.
Analysis: Mack, who has dealt with the foot injury for the majority of the season, missed the Bears' Week 8 matchup with the 49ers. Despite the injury, the star pass rusher has been able to notch six sacks through seven games this season. It's unclear if Mack will be able to return for Week 9, but if he doesn't, Trevis Gipson will likely once again see an increased role against the Steelers on Monday night.

Ruled out for Week 8
Mack (foot) won't play in Sunday's game against San Francisco, Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Analysis: Mack's absence comes as no surprise considering it was made known earlier in the week that the team's considering placing him on IR to allow his nagging foot injury to heal. He has persevered through the injury up to this point and performed admirably, notching six sacks through seven games, but Mack will endure his first absence of the season against the 49ers. Trevis Gipson will be tasked with filling Mack's massive shoes.

Likely to sit out Week 8
Mack isn't expected to play Sunday against the 49ers while tending to a lingering foot injury, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Rapoport adds that a four-week stint on injured reserve (the Bears are on bye Week 10) is being considered for Mack, who has been a regular on the Bears' injury reports since late September with the foot issue. Despite playing at less than full health, Mack has produced 19 tackles and six sacks this season, though he had a five-game streak with at least one sack come to an end in last week's 38-3 loss to the Buccaneers.

Set to face Tampa Bay
Mack (foot) is active for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Analysis: Mack has been limited in practice since Week 3 but has yet to miss a game. He has recorded at least one sack in each of his last five contests, so it doesn't appear the issue has held back Mack's performance.

Questionable as usual
Mack (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Tampa Bay.
Analysis: Mack got in a limited practice session Friday after sitting out Wednesday and Thursday, but this minimal level of participation during the week is nothing new for the banged-up pass rusher. Not only has Mack not missed a game this season, but he has six sacks in the last five, so deploy him as you normally would.

Unavailable for practice
Mack (foot) did not participate in practice Thursday.
Analysis: The 30-year-old missed Wednesday's practice as well, but his status for Sunday may not be in question. Mack suited up in Week 6 versus the Packers after not practicing all week, something that may happen again in Week 7 against the Buccaneers. More information should be available Friday on his status. On the season, the star linebacker has 18 tackles, six sacks and a fumble recovery through six contests.

Posts sixth sack of season
Mack notched a sack and four tackles in the Bears' 24-14 loss to the Packers on Sunday.
Analysis: After averaging 1.5 tackles over the first four games of the season, Mack has 12 over his last two games, and if that continues, it will significantly raise his weekly scoring floor. He also has recorded a sack for the fifth-straight game, and he's been showing the elite pass-rushing skills he hasn't flashed since 2018.

Playing against Packers
Mack (foot) is active for Sunday's game against the Packers.

Questionable but hasn't practiced
Mack (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Packers.
Analysis: Mack consistently has played through this injury since suffering it Week 3, but it's unnerving that he wasn't able to practice in any capacity throughout the week. He'll likely be a game-time decision Sunday as he looks to add to his season total of five sacks through five games.

Remains on injury report
Mack (foot) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Mack picked up the foot injury Week 3 against the Browns and continues to play through the issue. He had a strong showing during Sunday's win over the Raiders, recording eight tackles and a sack against his former team. The 30-year-old doesn't necessarily need to practice in order to be available to play this weekend in Green Bay, though it would nonetheless be reassuring to see him practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday.

Big game against former team
Mack notched a sack and eight tackles in the Bears' 20-9 win over the Raiders on Sunday.
Analysis: Mack has now tallied five sacks over his last four games, and this was the first time he recorded more than two tackles in a game this season. Despite the excellent fantasy performance, his fantasy value will likely continue to be reliant upon sacks.

Analysis: The 30-year-old logged a limited practice Friday after being absent for the Bears' first two sessions of the week due to the two injuries. Despite the light on-field work leading into the contest, Mack looks like he'll be ready to go against his former team.

Questionable after limited practice
Mack (ribs/foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders.
Analysis: Mack's no stranger to carrying questionable tags into games, and the oft-injured defensive star is now battling a rib injury in addition to the foot issue that has plagued him throughout the season. He missed practice Wednesday and Thursday before practicing on a limited basis Friday. Mack followed the same schedule last week against the Lions and was ultimately able to play.

Mack recovered a fumble while recording a sack and a tackle in the Bears' 24-14 win over the Lions on Sunday.

Notches sack
Mack collected a sack and two tackles in the Bears' 20-17 win over the Bengals on Sunday.
Analysis: For the second week in a row, Mack had two or fewer tackles, but he was able to tally his first sack of the campaign. After posting between 47 and 50 tackles in each of the last three seasons, if he doesn't boost his tackle totals soon, his fantasy scoring floor could be lower than it has been at any time in his career.

Registers ninth sack of season
Mack tallied a sack and four tackles in Chicago's 35-16 loss to the Packers on Sunday.
Analysis: The 50 tackles Mack had was his highest in three years with the Bears, though he's posted between 47 and 50 tackles in each of those seasons. He's also had two straight seasons with fewer than 10 sacks, and although he's still an amazing NFL player, his IDP value is limited in leagues in which he's listed as a linebacker. After the team completes its playoff run, he'll enter the fourth year of a seven-year deal and likely will maintain similar fantasy value that he's had the past couple seasons.

Reps limited Thursday
Mack (shoulder) was held to limited participation during the Bears' practice session Thursday.
Analysis: There's no great concern just yet regarding the three-time All-Pro's potential Week 17 availability, as he has frequently had his practice reps managed throughout the 2020 campaign. Last week alone, Mack submitted a full session Wednesday before being listed as a DNP and a limited participant the subsequent two practices. Mack hasn't missed a contest all season, and it's possible Chicago is merely managing its star defender's workload heading into a vital Week 17 matchup against the Packers.

Analysis: A full practice session from Mack on Wednesday, contrasted by a Thursday DNP, may seem like cause for alarm on the surface. Coach Matt Nagy clarified, however, that Mack's Thursday practice absence was considered to be "more precautionary," per Patrick Finley of The Chicago Sun-Times. The three-time All-Pro has faced shoulder, back and ankle issues over the past two months alone, but he remains without a game absence on the 2020 campaign.

Mack recorded half a sack and three tackles in Chicago's 33-27 victory over the Vikings on Sunday.

Questionable for divisional tilt
Mack (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Vikings.
Analysis: Mack followed a FP/DNP/LP practice regimen this week. The dominant pass rusher rarely misses time, and with a limited session to end the week, he seems to be on the right track for a must-win divisional contest Sunday. Mack has 1.5 sacks over his past three matchups against the Vikings.

Dominant outing
Mack registered a safety, a sack, two tackles and a recovered fumble in Chicago's 36-7 win over the Texans on Sunday.
Analysis: After notching 6.5 sacks over the first eight games of the season, these were the first two sacks he's recorded in five games, and his lack of consistent tackles gives him a very low weekly scoring floor in IDP leagues.

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.

Late injury add
Mack (back) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: 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.

Picks off first pass of season
Mack intercepted a pass and tallied three stops in the Bears' 19-13 loss to the Vikings on Monday.
Analysis: Although Mack has posted between two and five tackles in each game this season, he's been a fantastic playmaker with 6.5 sacks, a pair of forced fumbles and now an interception. When used in IDP leagues as a linebacker, he's dependent upon those big plays because he has a low scoring floor when they don't occur.

Analysis: Mack notched the only sack the Bears had in the game, and he's now posted at least one sack in four straight games, giving him 6.5 on the season. He's also tallied at least four tackles in each of the last three games, and although he's not the IDP legend he was a few years ago, as long as he stays hot, he's a solid fantasy option.

Looks ready to play Sunday
Mack (ankle), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: On a short week following Monday night's loss to the Rams, the Bears limited the practice time of some of their key players Wednesday through Friday. Mack was one of the veterans whose reps were restricted, as he sat out the first two sessions of the week before upgrading to limited activity Friday. His availability will be confirmed around 2:55 p.m. ET, when the Bears release their inactive list for the Week 8 contest.

Questionable for Week 8
Mack (ankle) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Saints.
Analysis: Mack upgraded to a limited practice Friday after being unable to practice Wednesday or Thursday. While the star pass rusher certainly isn't at 100 percent, he has managed to suit up despite limited practice reps on multiple occasions this season and could do so again Sunday.

DNP to start week
Mack (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.
Analysis: The Bears have regularly allowed Mack rest days this season, so as long as he's able to resume practicing ahead of Sunday's contest against the Saints, there won't be much reason for concern about his availability. The star pass rusher has notched a sack in five of his last six games.

Stays hot in loss
Mack notched a sack and four tackles in Chicago's 24-10 loss to the Rams on Monday.
Analysis: With Chicago playing from behind for much of the game, the Rams were able to run the ball often, but Mack was still able to enter the sack column for the fifth time in six games. Although he typically records about six tackles per game, his ability to pile up sacks gives him weekly upside in IDP leagues.

Ready for MNF
Mack (back) is active for Monday's game versus the Rams.
Analysis: Mack started dealing with back soreness Friday but has made enough progress to suit up for Monday's NFC showdown. The veteran edge rusher has generated 4.5 sacks and 15 quarterback pressures through the first six games, and he continues to have high upside in IDP formats. He has a tough test ahead, though, as Jared Goff has been sacked on just 3.6 percent of dropbacks this season, sixth in the league.

Tagged as questionable
Mack (back) was limited during Saturday's practice and is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Rams.
Analysis: Mack popped up on the injury report Friday with back soreness, but coach Matt Nagy has maintained optimism that the star pass rusher will be ready for Monday Night Football. The limited participation Saturday bodes well for Mack's chances to play. Mack will have a tough matchup if he does indeed suit up, as Jared Goff has been sacked on just 3.6 percent of dropbacks this year -- sixth in the league.

Surfaces on injury report
Mack (back) didn't participate in Friday's practice.
Analysis: Coach Matt Nagy said Mack's absence during practice was because of back soreness and that this was a preventative measure, according to Colleen Kane of the Chicago Tribune. That's an encouraging statement from Nagy, but Mack's participation level during Saturday's practice will be a better indicator of his chances to play Monday against the Rams.

Extends sack streak
Mack recorded a sack and four tackles in the Bears' 23-16 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
Analysis: Mack continued his outstanding rebound campaign, recording a sack for the second-straight week, and he's now found the sack column in all but one game this season. Although he's averaging just 3.5 tackles, his ability to get to the quarterback makes him a weekly upside play in IDP leagues.

Two sacks in win
Mack recorded three tackles (two solo), two sacks and a pass defensed in Thursday's win over the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Mack was causing Tom Brady and the Buccaneers' offensive line trouble all night, recording his first multi-sack performance since Week 4 of the 2019 season. He's now posted 3.5 sacks over the last four games, and he may be turning the tide as he tries to return to the form that made him a high-level IDP earlier in his career.

Suiting up versus Colts
Mack (knee) is active for Chicago's Week 4 matchup against Indianapolis.
Analysis: The three-time All-Pro has coped with a knee issue throughout the first month of the season, though he has not been forced to miss any starts and has fielded at least 83 percent of the defensive snaps in every game. Mack has 1.5 sacks and three QB hits over the past two weeks, as he prepares to face a Colts offensive line that is tied for third-best in the NFL with just one sack surrendered per game.

Questionable with same knee issue
Mack (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Colts.
Analysis: Mack has been playing through this injury all season, so expect him to be out there come Sunday despite being limited in each of Chicago's three practices this week. The standout pass rusher has 12 tackles and 1.5 sacks through three games.

Posts five stops
Mack notched half a sack and five tackles in the Bears' 30-26 victory over the Falcons on Sunday.
Analysis: After picking up his first sack of the season in Week 2, Mack was able to add to his total while also posting a season high with five tackles. With just 12 tackles and 1.5 sacks on the season, he offers fantasy managers an acceptable floor, but unless he's able to put up consistent sack totals, his upside will remain disappointing.

Good to go Week 3
Mack (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Falcons.
Analysis: Mack has been listed as questionable ahead of each of the Bears' first three games, but just like the previous two weeks, he's once again received clearance to play. The star edge rusher played more than 80 percent of the defensive snaps in both of the first two contests, and he shouldn't face any major limitations Week 3 either.

Officially listed as questionable
Mack (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game in Atlanta.
Analysis: Mack put together a trio of limited practice sessions this week, and official word on his status for Week 3 may not come until the Bears release their inactive list around 11:30 a.m. ET on Sunday. According to Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune, however, Mack is clearly trending in the right direction. If the three-time All-Pro does indeed take the field, he should get the benefit of facing a first-time starter in Matt Gono.

Limited again Thursday
Mack (knee) was limited for the Bears' practice session Thursday.
Analysis: The three-time All-Pro may face a first-time starter if he is able to suit up Week 3 against the Falcons, as Matt Gono is expected to fill in at right tackle for the injured Kaleb McGary (knee-MCL). Though Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan has expressed confidence in the 24-year-old, Gono has only twice played 50-plus percent of the offensive snaps in an NFL game. Atlanta's offense has allowed just three sacks through two games, but the uber-talented Mack has potential to tee off Week 3 if he can…read more

Begins week with limited practice
Mack was limited in Wednesday's practice due to a knee injury.
Analysis: Mack appears to have picked up a knee injury during Sunday's win over the Giants, in which he notched his first sack of the year. As long as the star pass rusher is able to practice in full Thursday or Friday, any worries about his Week 3 availability will be put to rest.

Notches first sack of season
Mack recorded a sack, a fumble recovery and three tackles in the Bears' 17-13 win over the Giants on Sunday.
Analysis: After posting four tackles in the opener, Mack was able to pick up his first sack of the season to bolster his fantasy performance. As he comes off a disappointing 2019 campaign in which he recorded just 8.5 sacks and 47 tackles, he'll need to ramp things up quickly if he's going to return to the dominant IDP force that he was from 2015-2018.

Suiting up in Week 2
Mack (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Analysis: Mack has been slowed by the knee injury for a couple weeks, but it did not prevent him from taking the field in Week 1 and will not keep him off the field this week, either. Mack was a bit quiet in last week's season opener, but he has a chance to make some noise in Week 2 against a Giants offensive line that had trouble containing the Steelers' pass rush on Monday night.

Status in question for Sunday
Mack (knee) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Giants.
Analysis: Mack has been a limited participant in practice all week, but considering he followed a similar path leading up to the season opener, there shouldn't be much concern about his status Sunday. The touted DE played 86 percent of the defensive snaps in Week 1 despite the injury, recording four tackles (two solo).

Managing knee injury
Mack (knee) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: Mack came into the season opener dealing with the knee injury in practice and still suited up, so this could be a trend going forward. The veteran posted a quieter Week 1 than he's used to, supplying just four tackles in Sunday's win over Detroit. At this point in the week, barring an injury setback, expect Mack on the field for Week 2 against the Giants.

Lackluster in opener
Mack posted four tackles in the Bears 27-23 win over the Lions Sunday.
Analysis: With the Lions playing with a lead for the majority of this contest, there weren't many obvious passing situations for Mack to take advantage of. Unfortunately, the four tackles he recorded were roughly the average number of stops he recorded in each of his first two years with the Bears. Unless he returns to his prior form as a dominant pass rusher, his IDP value may not align with his reputation as a real-life defender.

Cleared for season opener
Mack (knee) is active for Sunday's game in Detroit.
Analysis: Mack was deemed questionable heading into the week after the knee issue limited his participation in practices Wednesday through Friday, but he showed enough in pregame warmups to gain clearance for the season opener. After a brilliant debut season with Chicago in 2018, Mack's production took a step back along with many of his teammates in the Bears' 8-8 season in 2019, as he finished with his fewest sacks (8.5) since his rookie campaign.

Officially questionable for Week 1
Mack (knee) was limited in Friday's practice and is questionable for Sunday's divisional tilt against Detroit.
Analysis: Mack appeared to be a full participant in training camp, but a knee injury limited him during all three of this week's practice sessions. Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune notes that the Bears would likely list Mack as probable if the team had that option, so it doesn't look as though there's any serious internal concern about his availability against the Lions on Sunday.

Dealing with injury
Mack (knee) was listed as a limited participant for Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: It's unclear how Mack suffered the injury as he wasn't limited during training camp, so the team could just be giving him some rest ahead of Week 1. The 29-year-old is coming off a quieter season than usual, supplying 47 tackles (40 solo) and 8.5 sacks in 2019. If he's forced to sit, look for Trevis Gipson to elevate to the starting lineup.

Quiet in finale
Mack recorded one tackle in the Bears' 21-19 victory over the Vikings in Week 17, and he concluded the season with 47 tackles 8.5 sacks and five forced fumbles.
Analysis: Aside from his rookie season in 2014, this is the first time that Mack posted fewer than 10.5 sacks in a season. In addition, he tied his career-low in tackles, which he set last season. Along with his diminished numbers, his classification change from defensive end to linebacker stripped his massive fantasy value, and it'll be difficult to expect more than middling fantasy production when he returns to the Bears in 2020, which will be the third year of a six-year deal.

Up to 8.5 sacks on season
Mack notched a sack and four tackles in the Bears' 26-3 loss to the Chiefs on Sunday.
Analysis: Mack recorded the Bears only sack of Patrick Mahomes, giving him three sacks over his last five games. However, this was the first time he's posted more than three tackles in six games, and he'll be a sack-dependent IDP option in Week 17 against the Vikings.

Back in the sack column
Mack posted a sack and two tackles in the Bears' 31-24 win over the Cowboys on Thursday.
Analysis: Although Mack now has 7.5 sacks on the season, he's recorded just three over the last nine games, and he's averaging less than two tackles over his last four games, making him a low-floor IDP option in the fantasy playoffs.

Notches a sack
Mack recorded a sack and three tackles in Chicago's 19-14 victory over the Giants on Sunday.
Analysis: Mack collected his first sack in four weeks and now has 6.5 on the season. In addition, he's only surpassed four tackles a single time since Week 1. Since he's moved to the linebacker position in IDP leagues, Mack is no longer the elite fantasy producer we've seen in the past, though he possesses multi-sack upside every week.
