What It Means:

Powell was initially ruled a game time decision, but there was only a very small chance that he would actually play. Powell missed the entire week of practice, so it will be Elijah McGuire and the returning Matt Forte carrying the load at running back against the Patriots.

Our models project Powell to post 370.3 rushing yards on 84.3 carries, with 2.4 touchdowns on the ground, to go with 35.6 catches, 257.4 receiving yards, and 0.9 touchdowns through the air remaining this season.
