The Green Bay Packers and Chicago Bears will renew the NFL’s oldest rivalry on Sunday. Green Bay will travel to Soldier Field on Sunday. It will mark the 209th meeting, with Green Bay leading the all time series 107-95-6.
Chicago started the year off with a promising 4-2 record. However, they have since gone on a losing streak and currently sit 4-5. Green Bay is coming in at 6-3 and looking to keep pace with the Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions in the NFC North.
As it turns out, Chicago will be without one key starter.

According to Sean Semro of ChiCitySports:
This Sunday will mark six weeks since Chicago Bears safety Jaquan Brisker sustained a concussion while delivering a violent hit to Carolina Panthers tight end Tommy Tremble in Week 5. While Tremble seemed to be unconscious before even hitting the ground, it was Brisker who has felt the effects long afterward.
Bears head coach Matt Eberflus announced Wednesday morning that Brisker will not play in this week’s game against the Green Bay Packers at Soldier Field, marking the fifth consecutive game he will miss.
“They’re still working through the concussion protocol and working through with the trainers. We’ll see where that goes in terms of week to week,” said Eberflus.
Not having Brisker in the lineup will be big for Chicago’s defense. Here is a look at his career stats:
