Chicago weighs depth at linebacker after activating Amen Ogbongbemiga.

Overview

  • After missing the first two practices of the week with hand and hamstring issues, T.J. Edwards was revealed to have recently undergone surgery for a hand fracture and will play in a cast if available.
  • Head coach Ben Johnson said the hamstring poses the greater threat to Edwards’ status for Sunday and added he does not expect an injured reserve stint.
  • Linebacker Amen Ogbongbemiga was activated from injured reserve on Thursday, setting up his 2025 debut and adding immediate depth, primarily on special teams.
  • Snap decisions remain unsettled, with rookie Ruben Hyppolite II in consideration for more defensive work while veteran D’Marco Jackson has been the recent fill-in option.
  • The Bears face the Giants at Soldier Field on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET, with Chicago at 5-3 and New York at 2-7.
