Khalil Mack Expected To Play Sunday
4 years agoChicago Bears linebacker Khalil Mack (back) missed practice for the second straight day on Thursday, but head coach Matt Nagy said Mack was held out as a precaution and is expected to play in Week 13 against the Lions. The 29-year-old pass-rusher should be ready to go if he can get in a limited practice on Friday. The five-time Pro Bowler and three-time first-team All-Pro has 6.5 sacks in 11 games this season, but he hasn't had a sack since Week 8 and hasn't had double-digit sacks since his first season in Chicago in 2018. Mack is no longer a trustworthy IDP starter, but Chicago will need him if they hope to improve their pass rush to close the season. The Bears Defense was pummeled in Week 12 by Aaron Rodgers, but they have a chance to bounce back against Detroit and should be considered a top-10 fantasy unit this week.
