injury list

What
Injuries and news for the two teams in this matchup: player, position, team, practice participation, and the game designation once one is filed.
Why it is here
A designation only appears on a team’s final report before kickoff; until then, practice participation is the only signal — showing both, honestly labelled, beats hiding the week until Friday.

Sharkai lenses

fan: Fan lens (narrative): CHI at CAR, week 1, season 2026. not yet graded house · baked Oct 6
casual-bettor: The public leans CHI: 67% of spread tickets at market line -3. 31-43 (42%, n=74) house · baked Sep 12
sharp: The market has Chicago laying -2.5 on the road in Carolina, and the sharp read is that the value sits on the Bears' side of that number. That -2.5 posting suggests the market may be underrating CHI relative to expectations, with the line movement reflecting a shift in perception rather than any certainty about the result. If the number keeps moving toward Chicago, the early position at -2.5 is where the closing-line value story gets told. 5-8 (38%, n=13) model-narrated · baked Sep 1 Includes 1 past game replayed from pre-kickoff lines.
modeler: Our model leans Carolina here, but only barely, projecting a 0.19-point margin in their favor. That razor-thin edge sits well short of the posted -2.5 line, a notable disagreement between our numbers and the market. When the model's edge is that slim relative to the spread, it signals real uncertainty rather than conviction on either side. 39-35 (53%, n=74) model-narrated · baked Sep 1
contrarian: Everyone's rushing to back CHI at -2.5, but that number looks inflated and the hype around the popular side is exactly what makes it a textbook fade case. When a line gets overpriced like this, the value quietly shifts to the other sideline. CAR is well positioned to capitalize on the mispricing and make the crowd regret following the money. 5-2 (71%, n=7) model-narrated · baked Sep 1 Includes 1 past game replayed from pre-kickoff lines.
