Sweat tallied one stop in the Bears 24-22 win over the Packers on Sunday. Sweat was coming off a career year in 2023, when he posted 57 tackles and 12.5 sacks when he played for both the Commanders and the Bears. This year, the veteran recorded 32 tackles and 5.5 sacks, which represented his lowest career total on a per-game basis in each category. The pass rusher is signed with the Bears through 2027.
Sweat tallied three tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks and an additional tackle for loss, in the Bears' 30-27 overtime loss to the Vikings on Sunday. Sweat has 4.5 sacks in 2024. However, the defensive end is averaging 2.1 tackles per contest, mostly rendering him a sack-dependent IDP.
Sweat (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Packers. After not practicing Wednesday, Sweat was a limited participant Thursday and logged a full session Friday, putting him on track to play against the Packers, who are coming off their bye week. On the season, Sweat has 16 tackles (10 solo), including 3.5 sacks, seven QB hits, two pass breakups and one forced fumble.
Sweat (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Packers. After logging a DNP on Wednesday, Sweat got in a limited session Thursday and full practice Friday, putting him on a good track to play Sunday. He'd previously been battling a shin issue that cost him the Bears' Week 9 contest. On the season, Sweat has 16 tackles (10 solo), including 3.5 sacks, seven QB hits, two pass breakups and one forced fumble.
Sweat (ankle) was listed as a limited practice participant on Thursday's injury report. Sweat was held out of Wednesday's session due to an ankle issue, but he was able to return to practice Thursday, albeit in a limited capacity. If Sweat is able to log at least a limited practice Friday, he should be able to suit up Sunday against the Packers. Across eight regular-season games, the 2019 first-round pick has registered 16 tackles (10 solo), including 3.5 sacks, two pass defenses and one forced fumble.
Sweat (ankle) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports. Sweat has been playing through a shin injury, and now he's tending to an ankle issue as well. He'll probably have to practice in some capacity Thursday or Friday to have a chance to play in Week 11.
Sweat (shin) was a full participant in Thursday's practice. Sweat missed last week's loss to the Cardinals but appears on track to return for Week 10 versus New England. On the season, Sweat has 15 tackles (10 solo), including 3.5 sacks, six QB hits, two pass deflections and one forced fumble.
Sweat (shin) logged a limited practice Wednesday, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports. Sweat missed Sunday's game against the Cardinals with the injury and will start the practice week looking iffy for Week 10 against the Patriots. He'll try to amp up his activity Thursday or Friday, in an effort to increase his likelihood of suiting up this week.
Sweat (shin) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals. After logging a limited practice Thursday, Sweat was downgraded to DNP on Friday and was given the questionable tag. With Sweat out, Darrell Taylor should see increased reps off the edge for Chicago.
