Bears' T.J. Edwards Carted Off With Leg Injury as Report Cites Fractured Fibula

Officially listed as doubtful with an ankle injury, Edwards was later described in a postgame report as having a fractured fibula expected to end his postseason.

Overview

  • Edwards suffered a non-contact lower-leg injury in the second quarter, had his left leg placed in an air cast, and was carted to the locker room for X-rays.
  • The team announced an ankle injury and listed Edwards as doubtful to return during the wild-card game at Soldier Field.
  • Backup D'Marco Jackson replaced Edwards at linebacker, and Green Bay scored a touchdown seven plays after the injury.
  • The Sporting News reported, quoting head coach Ben Johnson, that Edwards has a fractured fibula and will miss the rest of the playoffs, a development not yet confirmed by formal medical releases.
  • The same report said offensive tackle Ozzy Trapilo sustained a patellar issue and would also be out for the postseason, pending official confirmation.
