Key Highlights
- Three of those games are coming against divisional opponents. Chicago has risen above multiple injuries on the defensive side of the ball this season.
- They missed players like Jaylon Johnson, Kyler Gordon, Austin Booker, TJ Edwards, and Tremaine Edmunds. Johnson and Gordon made their return last week in a statement win vs the Philadelphia Eagles, but since Week 12 against the Steelers, Chicago has been without essentially their entire starting LB unit.

- The Chicago Bears announced today that both LBs TJ Edwards and Noah Sewell will be a go for this Sunday. TJ Edwards has only played five total games this season and has missed the last four due to hand and hamstring injuries.
- Last season Edwards racked up 129 tackles, four sacks, and an interception.

Sewell, while not having a season worth writing home about has been a solid constant on the defense and it will be good to get him back as well.
