Bears' T.J. Edwards: Shifts to IR
The Bears placed Edwards (lower leg) on injured reserve Tuesday.
Edwards will miss the remainder of Chicago's postseason run due to a a fractured fibula suffered during Saturday's 31-27 wild-card win over the Packers. The loss of Edwards is particularly significant for Chicago, given that the team also placed Noah Sewell (Achilles) on IR in late December. In Edwards' stead, Amen Ogbongbemiga (concussion) may get a chance to start Sunday's divisional-round matchup against the Rams, if healthy.

Bears' T.J. Edwards: Suffers ankle injury
Edwards suffered an ankle injury during Saturday's wild-card game against the Packers and is doubtful to return.
Edwards banged his leg off a Packers wide receiver in accidental contact during the first half, and he was carted off the field with an air cast on his leg. While he's officially doubtful, it would be shocking to see him retake the field. This could conclude an injury-plagued season for Edwards, as he was able to suit up in only 11 total games.

Bears' T.J. Edwards: Likely done for season
Bears head coach Ben Johnson said after Saturday's 31-27 wild-card win over the Packers that Edwards sustained a fractured fibula during the contest, and the linebacker isn't expected to play again during Chicago's postseason run, Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Edwards was carted off the field with an air cast on his leg after suffering the injury during the first half of Saturday's game. Considering the nature of the issue, it's no surprise that he'll almost certainly be unable to return to action no matter how far Chicago advances in the playoffs. With Noah Sewell (Achilles) landing on injured list in late December and also done for the campaign, the Bears will likely turn to D'Marco Jackson or Amen Ogbongbemiga to serve as their primary defensive signal-caller for the rest of the postseason.

Bears' T.J. Edwards: Won't return Saturday
Edwards (ankle) has been ruled out of Saturday's game against the Packers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
This news doesn't come as much surprise, as Edwards left the game on a cart with an air cast around his leg. His absence will leave a significant hole in the middle of Chicago's defense, particularly hurting it against the run.

Bears' T.J. Edwards: Down season concludes
Edwards recorded four tackles (two solo) in the Bears' 19-16 loss to the Lions on Sunday.
Edwards finished with 67 tackles, including 0.5 sacks, one interception and four additional passes defended across 10 games, easily his lowest per-game output since 2020. Injuries sidelined him on three separate occasions, disrupting his usual high-volume role after multiple seasons with at least 129 tackles. He is signed through 2026 and profiles as a bounce-back IDP candidate if healthier next season.

Bears' T.J. Edwards: Pick-six highlights outing
Edwards returned an interception for a touchdown while recording nine tackles, including six solo, in the Bears' 42-38 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.
Edwards has now posted more than seven tackles in four of his eight games this season while never falling below four stops in any appearance. This marked his first interception of the year, and the return touchdown added a rare splash play to his stat line. He remains a moderate-floor IDP based on consistent tackle involvement.

Bears' T.J. Edwards: Playing Sunday night

Bears' T.J. Edwards: Questionable for Sunday
Edwards (glute) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the 49ers.
The Wisconsin product upgraded from a DNP on Thursday to a limited session Friday, suggesting he's trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's contest. Edwards is a crucial part of the Bears' linebacker corps, tallying 54 total tackles and three passes defensed over just eight games this season. If he's sidelined in Week 17, expect Amen Ogbongbemiga to operate as Chicago's top middle linebacker.

Bears' T.J. Edwards: Listed as non-participant
Edwards (glute) is listed as a non-participant on Thursday's estimated practice report.
Edwards also missed practice Wednesday. The starting linebacker appears to have emerged from Chicago's win over Green Bay in Week 16 with a notable glute issue, despite playing 100 percent of defensive snaps versus the Packers and compiling 10 tackles (five solo) including 0.5 sacks. Friday will be his last chance to take the practice field ahead of Sunday's contest against the 49ers.

Bears' T.J. Edwards: DNP with glute issue
Edwards (glute) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.
Edwards had a double-digit tackle game last Saturday against the Packers. At the same time, he played 100 percent of the team's defensive snaps, so it is unclear when the linebacker sustained his current injury. The 29-year-old will have two more chances to increase his practice participation in hopes of dodging an injury designation before Sunday night's prime-time game against the 49ers.
