Bears' Margus Hunt: Two stops in finale
Hunt tallied two stops in the Bears' 31-17 Week 18 loss to the Vikings, and he ended the season with 14 tackles in 10 games.
Hunt played in a rotational role for the Bears over the last seven games of the season, but he averaged fewer than 1.5 tackles per game while not recording a sack. He'll be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, but he's recorded just one sack since 2018 as he goes into his age-35 season. It's unlikely he'll be a significant factor in 2022 IDP leagues.

Bengals' Margus Hunt: Back from COVID list
Hunt (illness) was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Friday and is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Football Team, Jay Morrison of The Athletic reports.
While Hunt is eligible to play immediately, he's missed the last two weeks of practice and may need more conditioning before playing in a game, hence the questionable tag. Before being placed on the list, Hunt made one start at defensive tackle through the six games in which he was active.
