Bears Get Two Key Linebackers Back for Key Packers Matchup
The Chicago Bears have received a significant boost heading into their upcoming matchup against the Green Bay Packers, as starting linebackers T.J. Edwards and Noah Sewell will be available to play on Sunday.
Edwards, who has been hampered by a persistent hamstring injury all season, expressed his excitement about returning to Lambeau Field, his wife's hometown. The Wisconsin native, who has seen his fair share of Packers games with family members, jokingly acknowledged that he is "slowly converting" them into Bears fans.
Edwards will don a small protective pad for his injured hand, which broke during his last appearance on November 2. Despite missing significant time due to injury, Edwards remains optimistic about the team's readiness, stating, "I think it's exciting – we've got all the bullets ready to go."
Sewell's return is equally welcomed, as he has been dealing with an elbow injury since suffering it three games ago against the Giants.
Injury reports confirm that cornerback Tyrique Stevenson and linebacker Ruben Hyppolite II will not be available due to hip and shoulder issues respectively. The Packers have also ruled out several key players, including defensive linemen Lukas Van Ness and Collin Oliver, receiver Savion Williams, and running back MarShawn Lloyd.
With Edwards and Sewell set to take the field, the Bears are looking to capitalize on their home-field advantage against a Packers team dealing with numerous injuries.
