The New England Patriots are almost back to full strength heading into Monday’s primetime game against the visiting Chicago Bears.
For the first time this season, things finally seem to be coming together for the Patriots, who knocked off the Cleveland Browns and improved their record to 3-3 last Sunday.
After missing the last three games with an ankle injury, Mac Jones expects to be ready to return against the Bears. He was listed as questionable on the team’s official injury report on Saturday. The team also had defensive tackle Christian Barmore as questionable, which is big news considering there were serious concerns surrounding his knee injury.
Running back Damien Harris’ name was nowhere to be found on the list. So the Patriots will have their one-two punch in the offensive backfield again with Harris and Rhamondre Stevenson.
RB Damien Harris is no longer on the Patriots’ injury report. He is good to go Monday night.

The Patriots are getting healthy at the right time with an opportunity to open things up a bit and go on a run before they get into the tougher, latter half of their schedule.
They must beat teams like the Bears if they have any hope of playoff contention.
