Packers Week isn't only about whether the Chicago Bears can win at Lambeau Field without Caleb Williams. Several personnel questions are emerging beneath Chicago's 3-1 start that could start producing longer-term answers Sunday.

The Bears' dominant win over the Jets was part of this equation.

Kyle Monangai went from Chicago's clear RB2 to a 30-carry workhorse. D'Andre Swift went the opposite direction after a costly fumble. Colston Loveland suddenly became Tyson Bagent's most-targeted receiver. Theo Benedet played every offensive snap after Braxton Jones landed on injured reserve. And Kyler Gordon is finally eligible to return after missing the first four games.
