The Chicago Bears are making just one roster move for their Monday night clash against our Seattle Seahawks, elevating tight end Stephen Carlson from the practice squad to the gameday roster for this Week 8 contest.
Carlson’s Road Back to the Field
Carlson, at 29 years old, hasn’t seen any game action yet this season. Last year, he got into two games for Chicago, tallying a mere 14 offensive snaps and 12 special teams snaps. He broke into the league back in 2019 as an undrafted free agent, spending his first few seasons with the Browns before landing with the Bears in 2023. Overall, he has 28 career games under his belt, with seven starts. He’s a veteran depth piece, but definitely not a household name our defense has been preparing for all week.
What This Means for Our Hawks on Monday Night
With Carlson getting the call-up, it means our Seahawks will need to be ready for the Bears potentially utilizing another tight end option on Monday night. While he hasn’t been a major factor in past seasons, any fresh body elevated for a game, especially against our hard-hitting defense, is something to note. Mike Macdonald and the squad will have their intel ready, no doubt, but it shows the Bears are looking to bolster their options.
Get ready, 12s, because our Hawks are facing off against Chicago under the bright lights of Monday Night Football! Every snap, every player, and even the smallest roster move matters as we push through Week 8. Let’s go Hawks!
