Key Linebackers Return for Crucial Bears vs. Packers Game
6 Dec, 2025
Summary
- Chicago Bears get LBs TJ Edwards and Noah Sewell back for Sunday's game.
- Edwards returns after missing four games due to hand and hamstring issues.
- Despite Rome Odunze missing the game, the Bears' defense is more cohesive.
The Chicago Bears will travel to face their historic rivals, the Green Bay Packers, with a significant boost to their defense. Two key linebackers, TJ Edwards and Noah Sewell, have been officially cleared to play this Sunday. Edwards, who has only played five games this season and missed the last four with hand and hamstring injuries, is a vital leader on the Bears' defense.
Edwards' return is particularly impactful, bringing leadership and energy to a unit that has overcome numerous injuries throughout the season. Sewell also returns, providing much-needed stability to the linebacker corps. While rookie Rome Odunze will be sidelined, the reintroduction of these defensive playmakers significantly enhances the Bears' cohesion and competitiveness for this highly anticipated divisional clash.
The Bears have demonstrated resilience this season, currently leading the NFC with a 9-3 record and facing several divisional opponents in the remaining games. The return of Johnson and Gordon last week provided a spark, and the availability of Edwards and Sewell further solidifies the team's defensive capabilities as they head into a critical game against the Packers.
