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.

Sweat (shin) was a limited practice participant Thursday. Sweat injured his shin during the Bears' Week 8 loss to the Commanders. He wasn't able to practice Wednesday, but he's trending in the right direction by practicing Thursday, albeit in a limited fashion. Friday's injury report will provide clarity on Sweat's status ahead of the Week 9 clash against the Cardinals on Sunday. If Sweat cannot play, Darrell Taylor and rookie fifth-rounder Austin Booker would be candidates to see more snaps at defensive end alongside starter DeMarcus Walker.

Sweat (shin) did not practice Wednesday, Dan Wiederer of the Chicago Tribune reports. Sweat exited Sunday's loss to the Commanders with the injury and was unable to return. He'll still have Thursday and Friday to get back on the field before Sunday's matchup with the Cardinals. If he's unable to do so, the Mississippi State product likely won't be active for Week 9.

Sweat (shin) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Commanders, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports. The defensive end made four tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks and two tackles for losses, before exiting.

Sweat posted 2.5 tackles and half a sack in the Bears' 35-16 win over the Jaguars on Sunday. Sweat has recorded at least half a sack in three of the last four games and now has 2.5 on the season. However, with one performance of more than three tackles, Sweat remains a sack-dependent IDP option.
