Will DJ Moore face the Detroit Lions tonight? 

Yes, DJ Moore is active and ready to play. The Bears’ No. 1 wide receiver was not listed on the final injury report, indicating that he will play in top condition. This is significant for Chicago since Moore is expected to be a key component of the game plan. Moore’s quickness and route-running provide Williams with his most reliable option for stretching the field and keeping drives alive against a Lions secondary with coverage flaws.

Moore’s presence also adds balance to the offense. With Keenan Allen healed and D’Andre Swift ready to go, the Bears finally have an opportunity to showcase their improved talent group surrounding their rookie quarterback. But make no mistake: Moore is the big-play guy, and when Williams needs a deep shot or a third-down conversion, expect the ball to go his way.

Final injury report: both the Bears and Lions enter fairly healthy.
