Bears quarterback Mitchell Trubisky is listed as the back-up on the lineup card for the game, meaning that he will see action later in the game. Center Cody Whitehair will also play, as he backs up Alex Mack in the contest.

Running back Tarik Cohen will start for the NFC on special teams, as he was elected to the game as a return specialist. He should also see some action at running back, joining Saquon Barkley, Ezekiel Elliott, and Alvin Kamara in a loaded NFC backfield.

Kick-off for the game is set for 2 p.m., and the game will air on ABC and ESPN.
