**Bears Elevate Ford & Moody for Commanders Matchup; Edwards & Gordon Set to Play Together**

**Chicago, IL** – The Chicago Bears are bolstering their roster for tonight’s Monday Night Football showdown against the Washington Commanders, announcing the elevation of defensive lineman Jonathan Ford and kicker Jake Moody from the practice squad. These moves are standard elevations, meaning both players will revert back to the practice squad following the game.

The Bears also announced that defensive lineman Austin Booker (knee) and running back Travis Homer (calf) have been ruled out and will remain on Reserve/Injured; Designated for Return.

Moody, who joined the Bears practice squad prior to Week 2, brings a wealth of kicking experience to the team. A two-time All-American at the University of Michigan and the 2021 Lou Groza Award winner, Moody spent time with the San Francisco 49ers, appearing in 35 games (including postseason) and scoring 258 points. Drafted by the 49ers in the third round (No. 99 overall) in 2023, he boasts a regular season record of 46 made field goals and a 97.9% PAT conversion rate. In Super Bowl LVIII, he went 3-for-3 on field goal attempts, including two makes from 50+ yards.

Ford is in his second season with the Bears, appearing in each of the final four games last season for the Bears and Chicago’s Week 4 matchup at Las Vegas. Ford entered the NFL as a seventh-round selection (234th overall) by the Green Bay Packers in the 2022 NFL Draft, spending each of his first three professional seasons with the Packers before being signed by the Bears to Chicago’s active roster off of Green Bay’s practice squad.

In more positive news for the Bears, linebacker T.J. Edwards and nickel back Kyler Gordon are both healthy and slated to play together for the first time this season.

Adding to the surprises, Bears coach Ben Johnson revealed that first-year offensive lineman Theo Benedet will start at left tackle in the game.

Finally, the Bears are currently in London for the launch of a collaborative art project with artist Christian Jeffery and OOF Gallery, celebrating the team’s Super Bowl XX victory in 1985.

The Bears face the Commanders tonight, looking to secure a much-needed victory.
