Bears Activate Tremaine Edmunds From Injured Reserve for Packers Rematch

The Pro Bowl linebacker returns from a groin injury after four games to bolster a takeaway-driven defense in a divisional test.

Overview

  • Chicago formally activated Edmunds on Saturday and also elevated wide receiver Maurice Alexander from the practice squad for the game against Green Bay.
  • Edmunds completed his 21-day return-to-play window this week, practicing fully on Thursday after limited work earlier.
  • Coaches are expected to manage his workload with a rotation that includes T.J. Edwards and D'Marco Jackson, who earned NFC Defensive Player of the Week in Edmunds' absence.
  • Through 10 games this season, Edmunds has produced 89 tackles, four interceptions, nine passes defensed, and a sack while excelling in coverage.
  • The 10-4 Bears enter Week 16 atop the NFC North as the Packers make their own roster moves, including adding DE Brenton Cox Jr. and placing RB MarShawn Lloyd on injured reserve.
