The Bears got rough news Tuesday about one of their highest-paid players. Defensive end Montez Sweat has been suspended by the NFL for two games due to a violation of the league's performance-enhancing substance policy. Dan Wiederer and Mark Grote react to the news. How will this impact the Bears defense? Also, defensive tackle Shemar Turner has been activated off of the physically-unable-to-perform list. Might the second-year player provide a boost? Meanwhile, we're still unsure if quarterback Caleb Williams will return against the Falcons on Sunday as he rehabs from his hamstring injury. Would it be smart to let him sit another game? And if Williams can't return, which backup quarterback will the Bears turn to?

Dan Wiederer joined Leila Rahimi and Mark Grote on 104.3 The Score in Chicago to sort through the aftermath of the Bears' horrible 31-7 loss in Green Bay. Wiederer feels that quarterback Caleb Williams' absence is being felt more and more with each passing week as he has missed the last three contests with a hamstring injury.
