The Chicago Bears have been struggling offensively, mostly due to the inactivity from the struggling passing game led by Justin Fields.

Fields himself has struggled more often than not, but the true lack of receiving help hasn't exactly given him confidence to let it rip either.

Darnell Mooney — who established himself as one of, if not Fields' favorite target last season — hasn't gotten off to a great start. Splashes haven't been made from the likes of David Moore and Byron Pringle either.

It's why the passing attack has looked sluggish at times and why the team has had to rely heavily on the run game so far this season. However, help is now on the way, as another off-season addition has been deemed healthy enough to practice.

N'Keal Harry being designated to return opens up a 21 day practice window, one that'll let the Bears decide if they'll activate him off injured reserve completely, or keep him on injured reserve, ending his season.

Harry wasn't all that impactful in New England, but he requested a new change in scenery which led him to Chicago. The Bears hope he can contribute on the field and give this passing attack some life soon.

But first, he has to get healthy.
