Austin Booker’s knee injury in Sunday night’s Bears-Bills game compounds Chicago’s growing list of health concerns as teams trim rosters. Booker had emerged as a preseason standout, collecting a sack, a QB hit and two tackles against Buffalo after a three-sack opener versus Miami. His exit leaves Chicago shorthanded at edge and could shuffle the Bears’ rotation as they evaluate depth in the trenches ahead of Week 1 preparations.

With Booker sidelined and Terell Smith carted off with a non-contact injury, plus Deion Hankins and Dominique Robinson leaving the field, Chicago’s defensive roster faces immediate stress. Fantasy managers should monitor snap shares in Chicago’s front seven and secondary, as backups may absorb more reps in coming preseason tuneups, potentially lifting the value of a few depth pieces if injuries linger or shift roles.
