Zavier Scott Elevated From Practice Squad for Thursday Night Matchup

The Chicago Bears elevated running back Zavier Scott and linebacker Buddy Johnson from the practice squad for Thursday night's game against the New England Patriots, with both players slated to revert afterward. This marks Scott's third straight game elevation, providing crucial backfield and special teams depth with Kyle Monangai sidelined. Scott has logged 30 special teams snaps over the last two weeks as the Bears navigate injuries to several key roster contributors.
