Ogbongbemiga (concussion) was left off the Bears' injury report Wednesday. Ogbongbemiga was thought to have sustained a concussion during the Bears' Week 2 loss to the Texans, but following Wednesday's injury report, it appears he's passed protocol. Expect the Oklahoma State product to remain one of Chicago's top rotational outside linebackers as the season progresses.
Ogbongbemiga is being evaluated for a concussion in Sunday's contest with the Texans. Ogbongbemiga appears to have suffered a blow to the head and his return to the game is now in question. The linebacker operates primarily as a special-teams option, so his absence doesn't carry a major impact to Chicago's defense.
Ogbongbemiga signed a contract with the Bears on Thursday, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports. Ogbongbemiga spent the first three seasons of his career with the Chargers after going undrafted out of Oklahoma State in 2021. The 25-year-old has primarily seen action on special teams, where he had four tackles and two fumble recoveries in 2023.
