Sweat (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Packers.

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.
Sweat (shin) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cardinals. Sweat downgraded from practicing in a limited fashion Thursday to a DNP on Friday, suggesting he could be on the wrong side of questionable in Week 9. The 2019 first-round pick is an integral part of Chicago's defense, recording 15 total tackles, including 3.5 sacks, and defending two passes through the team's first seven games. If he can't suit up Sunday, expect Darrell Taylor to serve as one of the Bears' top edge rushers.
