The NFL reinstated Sweat after he served a two-game suspension for violating the league's performance-enhancing substances policy.

Sweat has logged seven tackles (two solo), including 2.0 sacks, over his five regular-season appearances so far in 2026.

The NFL announced Tuesday that Sweat has been suspended two games without pay for violating the league's performance-enhancing substances policy, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports. Barring a successful appeal, Sweat will sit out games Sunday in Atlanta and in Week 7 versus the Patriots. The 30-year-old edge rusher has notched a pair of sacks among his seven tackles through the Bears' first five games of the season.

Sweat (undisclosed) was a full participant in Sunday's practice, Adam Hoge of AllCHGO.com reports. Sweat had not practiced since early August due to an unknown minor issue. The starting defensive end was afforded time to get healthy and is now set to suit up. The Bears' second preseason contest is against the Bengals next Saturday, and Sweat will likely open the game with the first-team defense for at least a few snaps of live football.

Sweat (undisclosed) left Thursday's training camp session early due to injury, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports. Sweat headed into the Bears' facility with a trainer but walked on his own as he exited the field. There is no confirmed injury or prognosis for the starting defensive end yet, so it is unclear whether he will need to miss any time. Jeremiah Martin and Austin Booker will likely see increased reps with the first-team defense if Sweat misses any time.

The Bears placed Sweat on the active/non-football illness list Tuesday. Sweat is expected to be back in action within a few days. The defensive end had a career year in 2025, producing 53 tackles (36 solo), including 5.0 sacks, and added five passes defensed as well as three forced fumbles over 17 regular-season games. The 29-year-old is set to pick up where he left off as the starting defensive end for the Bears.
