Josh Blackwell: Everything you need to know

Blackwell (concussion) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Vikings. Blackwell was a full participant at practice throughout the week after sitting out Week 10 versus the Giants with a concussion, and now he's in line to suit up in Week 11. So far in 2025, he's played 121 special teams snaps compared to just three defensive snaps.

Blackwell (concussion) was a full participant in Chicago's practice Wednesday. Blackwell managed to practice despite having suffered a concussion in the Week 10 win over the Giants. However, the 26-year-old will still have to officially clear the league's concussion protocol in order to be eligible to play in Sunday's matchup versus the Vikings.

Blackwell (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Giants. Blackwell suffered a concussion during the Bears' Week 9 victory against the Bengals. The 26-year-old cornerback was not cleared to practice at all this week, and will have to sit out Sunday's game. Blackwell's absence will likely mean Luther Burden will take over as the secondary kick and punt returner, with Blackwell's absence coinciding with Burden's return to the field.
