Edwards

Edwards was carted to the locker room in the second quarter of Chicago’s stunning comeback victory over the Packers and did not return. He appeared in 10 games this year, logging 67 combined tackles, .5 sacks, and a pick-six. D’Marco Jackson took his spot in the lineup in the second half of Saturday’s game. Jackson has largely been a backup this year.

The Bears also ruled out LBs Ruben Hyppolite (shoulder) and Noah Sewell (elbow) ahead of Friday’s game. Hyppolite is a lightly used backup who has totaled just six tackles this season, while D’Marco Jackson will take over for Edwards and Sewell, who have both been key contributors for the defense when active.

Bears LBs Ruben Hyppolite (shoulder) and LB Noah Sewell (elbow) were both sidelined again as well. The team needs these players to get healthy after placing LB Tremaine Edmunds (groin) on injured reserve last weekend. The Eagles’ ground game should have a fruitful outing in Week 13.

Neither did Ruben Hyppolite (shoulder), LB Noah Sewell (elbow), or CB Tyrique Stevenson (hip) on the estimated report. The good news is that Kyler Gordon and Jaylon Johnson, both on IR, practiced in full on Tuesday. Still, down several linebackers, this could be a smash spot for the struggling Saquon Barkley on Black Friday.

Bears LB Tremaine Edmunds (groin) has also been ruled out. This is bad news for the Bears’ defense and good news for the Steelers’ rushing attack. If RB Jaylen Warren (ankle) is cleared to play, he should be ranked as a high-end RB2 at worst. In the meantime, No. 2 RB Kenneth Gainwell should be stashed.

Bears LB Tremaine Edmunds (groin) remains sidelined as well. The two players are on the wrong side of questionable for Week 12, which is bad news. They face the Steelers’ run-heavy offense this weekend, and RB Jaylen Warren (ankle) returned to practice today after taking the day off yesterday. Stay tuned.

Fellow linebacker Tremaine Edmunds was also held out of practice. Edwards has been out since Week 9 because of the pair of injuries. Edmunds, on the other hand, suffered his injury in Week 11 versus Minnesota. The Bears have been banged up on defense all year. Edwards doesn’t look likely to return this week while Edmunds could also be out, further hurting a unit that can’t catch a break.

Edwards hasn’t played since Week 9, and he’s been banged up enough that he’s already missed half of Chicago’s games this season. Noah Sewell manned the middle next to Tremaine Edmunds last week and has been one of the worst cover linebackers in the league this year per PFF data, with a 30.0 coverage grade. The Vikings should see some success over the middle of the field.

For the second straight week, Swift will suit up on game day after a trio of limited practice sessions. The Bears’ starting running back totaled 13 carries and three targets despite playing through a quad injury last week. He’s caught three passes in every game this season. Fantasy managers should expect 15 or so touches for him against the Raiders today. He’s a back-end RB2. The Bears declared CB Kyler Gordon, DT Grady Jarrett, LB TJ Edwards, RT Darnell Wright, TE Colston Loveland, DT Chris Williams and QB Case Keenum inactive for Week 4 against the Raiders. Loveland’s absence does not alter TE Cole Kmet’s projected workload enough to put Kmet on the TE1 radar.

It’s unclear why the Bears have not yet placed Johnson on injured reserve, but that could occur on Saturday. The star cornerback is expected to undergo surgery after suffering what is believed to be a season-ending groin injury. Bears slot CB Kyler Gordon, LB T.J. Edwards and backup CB Jaylon Jones are all sidelined by hamstring injuries. Bears DL Grady Jarrett (knee) was removed from the injury report and will play in Week 3, but the Cowboys should be able to pass and run as they please against this depleted unit.
