Tremaine Edmunds to Miss at Least Three More Games
The Bears quietly placed LB Tremaine Edmunds on IR over the weekend, ahead of Sunday's win over the Steelers. That means Edmunds' groin injury will cost him at least three more games.
T.J. Edwards Out with Two Injuries
The Bears have ruled LB T.J. Edwards out for Sunday's game against the Giants. HC Ben Johnson revealed Friday that Edwards had surgery this week for a broken hand. The team reportedly won't be placing him on IR and hopes Edwards can return soon with a club on the repaired hand.
Bears to Get Two Key Defenders Back vs. Washington

T.J. Edwards Expected to Miss Week 1 -- Maybe More
Bears LB T.J. Edwards is doubtful for Monday night's game against the Vikings because of a hamstring injury that has cost him "nearly a week and a half" of practice so far, according to Bears Wire's Alyssa Barbieri.
Bears reach deal with Edwards
The Bears have agreed to a three-year deal with LB T.J. Edwards, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. The length of the deal and timing -- right at the start of "legal tampering" -- points to Edwards taking a starting role in Chicago. The Bears have 2022 starter Nicholas Morrow hitting free agency, so there's room for 2022 rookie Jack Sanborn to remain in the starting lineup with Edwards. We'll see, of course, how the rest of free agency and the NFL Draft play out. The deal solidifies Edwards' short-term dynasty outlook, giving him a bump up our dynasty rankings. We'd hang on to Sanborn for now as well. He proved quite productive across five full outings after Roquan Smith left, before an ankle injury cost Sanborn the final three games.
