By Chris Emma

GREEN BAY, Wis. (CBS) -- For the first time in three games, the Bears will have running back Matt Forte, receiver Alshon Jeffery and linebacker Pernell McPhee all healthy, with each being ruled active for Thursday's game against the Packers at Lambeau Field.

However, the Bears will be without tight end Martellus Bennett and safety Antrel Rolle.

Forte declared Tuesday that he would play, despite an ongoing recovery from an MCL sprain. Jeffery and McPhee spoke with confidence that they would each be able to play, despite a short week of recovery at Halas Hall.

The Bears' inactives included Eddie Royal, Ka'Deem Carey, Jacoby Glenn, Nick Becton and Will Sutton.

Kickoff at Lambeau Field is scheduled for 7:30, with the Bears looking to bring their record to 5-6.
