Chicago Bears wide receiver Keenan Allen (heel) and defensive end Montez Sweat (toe) are expected to play versus the Tennessee Titans, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported, per a source.
Allen, who was acquired from the Chargers via trade this offseason, was a limited participant in practice to begin the week. On Friday, he turned into a full participant in Friday's practice, earning the questionable injury designation heading into Sunday's season opener.
Sweat had the same practice designations as Allen for the week.
In 2023, Allen led the NFL with 8.3 receptions per game. Meanwhile, Sweat was an instant impact when he arrived in Chicago midseason via trade. Sweat produced a career-high 12.5 sacks and 25 QB hits.
The Titans and Bears kick off at 1 p.m. ET.
Other injuries we are keeping an eye on ahead of Sunday's Week 1 games:
- Detroit Lions defensive end D.J. Reader (quad) is not expected to play versus the Rams on Sunday night after being limited in practice this week, Rapoport reported.
- Miami Dolphins cornerback Jalen Ramsey (hamstring) will attempt to play in Sunday's game versus the Jaguars, Rapoport reported. If Ramsey plays, he will likely be on a pitch count, Rapoport added.
- Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Russell Wilson (calf) is expected to be examined for his injury by the team, NFL Network Insider Mike Garafolo and Rapoport reported. It's more likely that quarterback Justin Fields starts versus the Atlanta Falcons, Garafolo and Rapoport added.
- Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Tyler Lockett (thigh) is expected to play Sunday versus the Broncos, Rapoport reported.
