A struggling offense not only has been unproductive, but put rookie QB Caleb Williams in peril — sacked seven times against the Texans. The solution is the same as most Bears offenses when in distress — establish a consistent running game that gives Williams the wind at his back.

The Chicago Bears have 12 players listed on the injury report, including Keenan Allen, Teven Jenkins, Rome Odunze and Montez Sweat, with four players not practicing and seven players limited.

As disconnected as the Chicago Bears offense looked in Sunday's loss to the Houston Texans, they had a chance to win the game on their final drive. Still, quarterback Caleb Williams and company are working on improving ahead of a Week 3 trip to Indianapolis.
