The Chicago Bears are gearing up once again, to take on competition while showing vast improvement on both sides of the ball.

Last weeks' performance failed to do that, as both the offense and defense failed to show consistent levels of excellence. Although there were a lot more positives offensively than defensively, if that's something to hang your hat on.

The Bears need to bounce back, but it won't be easy to do so as they'll have to slow down the Miami Dolphins' explosive offense led by its star receiving duo, Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.

A good first step in slowing them down is to be healthy, which fortunately for the Bears, is the case heading into Sunday's game.

The obvious good news is that Larry Borom has cleared concussion protocol and is set to play against the Dolphins. Miami employs a nasty, yet new one-two punch at edge rusher with Jaelan Phillips and new face Bradley Chubb.

To have Borom back to help combat that, is a big time help for this improving Bears offense.

Aside from that though, there isn't much in the way of concern on the injury report. All except for Ja'Tyre Carter, who is listed as questionable.
