November 7, 20187 yr comment_172846 Hopefully they are all 100% as well (and not still 75 or 80%). Great to have those guys back. Will be interesting to see if Shaheen is active on Sunday. Report
November 7, 20187 yr comment_172847 The expectation is for Shaheen to get a full week of practice but still sit this week from what I've seen from the beat writers. Either way, very promising and close to getting a viable 7th option for Trubisky (Robinson, Gabriel, Miller, Burton, Howard, Cohen) and now Shaheen. You can only have 5 but Burton/Shaheen with 2 to 3 WRs or Cohen will be fun. Report

They can't all be on the field but having a viable 2 TE pass catching threat definitely changes what Nagy has to work with when calling plays. Report
November 8, 20187 yr comment_172853 Shaheen is a huge redzone target. If he figures out how to use that body there are not many LBs or DBs that can defend him. Report

November 8, 20187 yr comment_172857 Timing couldn't be better either. We will need as many weapons as we can get on offense and getting Robinson back and next week (vs Vikings) will help a lot. It is encouraging that even with the offensive flaws we've had thus far a lot of room to grow we are putting points on the board and winning games. When the offense gets it's legs under it watch out NFL. What a change this season has been. We are installing a legit NFL offense without sacrificing on the defensive side of the ball. Get both phases humming at the same time the Bears could become scary good. Been a long time since we could say that. Still work to be done to get there but the arrow is pointing up. Report
November 8, 20187 yr Author comment_172858 Some reports that Shaheen will make his return against the Vikings. Haven't seen the major media definitely report yet, but it seems like a reasonable assumption. They are still being very quiet on Robinson which makes me think it might only be Mack who makes his return this week. Report
