I would guess he still will as a scheme rather than necessity. I will enjoy , Simmons, Booker and Sweat getting sacks just as much if not more.

I have a bad feeling that Monangai is going to be out for a while.

Turf toe is a notoriously nasty, lingering injury.
Those are extremely painful. It's a sprain when the toe gets bent upwards. The term "turf toe" makes it sound like it's a whatever injury. It's not different than what Caleb went through, it's just with the toe.
Grade 1 (Mild Sprains): Typically requires 1 to 2 weeks of modified activity or rest. You can usually return to normal activities once pain and swelling subside.
Grade 2 (Moderate Sprains): Generally keeps you out for several weeks (around 4 to 8 weeks). These cases often require taping, a rigid shoe insert or stiff-soled boot, and a gradual return to impact activities.
Grade 3 (Severe Sprains / Tears): Can sideline you for 3 to 6 months (or longer if surgical intervention and extensive rehabilitation are necessary).
My guess is that it's probably a grade 2 just because a 3 and he would have been placed on the IR. With the bye week coming up, that fits the grade 2 recovery time.
The Bears notoriously misdirect everything as day to day or a game time decision. He was ruled out pretty far in advance.
Very worrisome. Seattle is a whole different animal defensively. That offensive line is going to have to play their best game of the season. 3rd and short or Johnson's propensity to go for it on 4th down is probably not a great idea this week.
Is it just me?
I watched a couple Seahawks games and they looked OK but def not like a SB Champ.
Darnold did not make good decisions under pressure.
IMVHO, Bears pre-Simmons (and Sweat) would win this one.
Now? Seems like the Bears blow these guys out. (assuming Simmons plays and plays well)
And yet, pundits all like the Squawks.

JSN against the Bears secondary. That's why.
They're also finally healthy that the RB position. I think they get Price and Charbeneau(sp?) back this. Figures.
Hey, I get it, he is great.
But the Bears did fine without Sweat, now they have him back.
Add in Simmons, and Sweat is going to be even better, and Simmons?!
Simmons will be even better because the Bears >> TN
So, I'm thinking Darnold is going to have a tough day.
And won't be able to hit an open JSN that often.
Must see TV, for sure!
Tonight's Bears inactives:
Initially I thought that hit by Cam Lewis was bad. On replay, it was clean.
Bears looking really good on D and O.
Toggling between Illini and Da Bears is pretty awesome!

Great: Simmons getting his first sack for Bears.
Not so great: Jarrett getting a face mask after the play.

Boy, if Williams hits Burden in stride, that's 6. Can't miss that one against this Seattle D.
Swift catches the ball we are still driving. Things are there. Just got to keep plugging away.
Defense needs to keep it up. Simmons is making an impact.
He has to feel great having a competent offense now.

Another end of the half meltdown. Frustrating. Two weeks in a row.
Don't like the blitz call there. Front four was getting solid pressure and making Darnold see ghosts for the most part.
Let him catch the damn slant. Just make Darnold hold the ball a little there and we are good.
Stephenson is just such an airhead sometimes.
Go get Nahshon Wright back, please.
I know others have probably mentioned it but the Green Bay sucks chant needs to only be uttered when we're playing Green Bay.
Bears haven't gotten a turnover yet but man have they caught some breaks in this game.
And of course as soon as I say that, Loveland fumbles it.
