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.

Bears' Montez Sweat: Returns to practice
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 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.
