San Francisco 49ers defensive coordinator Robert Saleh will be a candidate for head-coach opportunities, but the 49ers want to keep him around.

With an improved offensive line led by two Pro Bowl players, Chicago Bears' QB Caleb Williams has made a huge leap in his second season.

The Chicago Bears are playoff bound, but there is more work to do with two games left in the 2025 season. Their next test is a team they could wind up facing in the postseason in just a few weeks as the Bears head to the West Coast to face the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday Night Football.

The San Francisco 49ers made several moves last offseason, but signing backup quarterback Mac Jones is seen as one of the smartest by any team.

In Green’s absence, reserve cornerback Darrell Luter Jr. made his second start of the year, playing 100 percent of the defensive snaps at outside corner. He finished with six tackles and a pass breakup, seeing his ups and downs as he was targeted often.

The Bears added Darnell Wright to the injury report with an illness and he will not travel with the team to San Francisco.

Days before the 49ers' matchup against the Bears, San Francisco received its most special teams Pro Bowl honors in over a decade, as new coordinator Brant Boyer has made the unit a strength.
