Chase Claypool's Benching by Bears Wasn't Related to Usage Comments, HC Eberflus Says

Chase Claypool's public disappointment in his usage during the Chicago Bears' first three games was not the reason he was healthy scratched for Week 4 Sunday, head coach Matt Eberflus said Sunday.

Eberflus expects Claypool to be back with the team Monday, per NFL Network's Andrew Siciliano.
