Two days after Ditka's death at 86, Chicago honors its Hall of Fame tight end and Super Bowl XX coach in the 214th meeting of the NFL's oldest rivalry.
Chicago's quarterback is reported to be targeting next week's trip to Atlanta, Washington's top receiver is a genuine toss-up against the Giants, and Tennessee's rookie wideout looks set to play through a sore back.
The ankle injury Brooks suffered in Tampa Bay will keep him out at least four games and thins Green Bay's backfield again.
