Montez Sweat: Breaking News

Adds to career season

Sweat recorded four tackles, including two solo, and 0.5 sacks in the Bears' 19-16 loss to the Lions on Sunday. Sweat finished his seventh NFL season with career highs in sacks (10.0) and tackles (53) while reaching the sack column in eight of his final 12 contests. He also added six passes defended, three forced fumbles and a fumble recovery, solidifying his profile as a sack-dependent but productive IDP. He is signed with Chicago through 2027 and remains a weekly edge-rusher option.

Adds to sack total

Sweat recorded five tackles, including two solo, and 1.0 sacks in the Bears' 22-16 overtime win over the Packers on Saturday. Sweat notched his second sack over the last four contests, bringing his season total to 9.5. The five tackles marked his first game with more than three stops since Week 8. He remains a sack-dependent IDP whose value fluctuates with pass-rush production.

Sack streak drives value

Sweat recorded two tackles and 1.0 sacks in the Bears' 28-21 loss to the Packers on Sunday. Sweat has one to three tackles in nine games this season but has produced 8.5 sacks overall, including 7.5 since Week 7. His hot pass-rush stretch keeps him a sack-dependent IDP option with most of his value tied to sacking the opposing quarterback.
