Bears-Packers Week 5 game flexed to early window on FOX
Summary

The Chicago Bears will face the Green Bay Packers in Week 5 of the NFL season, now scheduled for 1 p.m. ET on October 11. The matchup, a key NFC North rivalry, was originally set for a later time. Reports indicate that the Bears might be without starting quarterback Caleb Williams due to a hamstring injury sustained in Week 2, which could affect their chances against the Packers. This change also promotes the Seattle Seahawks vs. San Francisco 49ers matchup to the late window on FOX.
