The Chicago Bears will be without wide receiver Keenan Allen for their upcoming game against the Indianapolis Colts due to a persistent heel injury and a personal matter. This marks Allen's second consecutive week out, impacting the team significantly given his status as a six-time Pro Bowler.

Bears coach Matt Eberflus has noted that Allen's condition is improving and he is diligently working with the training staff to return. The franchise’s offense has struggled greatly, ranking near the bottom of the league as No. 1 draft pick Caleb Williams faces challenges early in his career.
