Chicago Bears head coach Matt Eberflus stands on the sidelines during the second quarter against the Buffalo Bills in a preseason game at Soldier Field on Saturday.

The Bears expect all but one starter to healthy enough to face the Packers in Week 1, head coach Matt Eberflus said Tuesday.

Teven Jenkins, who has a walking boot on his right foot, remains “week-to-week,” Eberflus said. Everyone else is in the Bears’ injury recovery program and on pace to be cleared by the Sept. 10 opener.

The list of players who have missed practices due to injuries is long: safeties Eddie Jackson and Jaquan Brisker; edge rushers Yannick Ngakoue and DeMarcus Walker; middle linebacker Tremaine Edmunds; receiver Chase Claypool; center Cody Whitehair; guard Nate Davis; and right tackle Darnell Wright, the Bears’ first-round pick this season.
