Bears' Amen Ogbongbemiga: Clears concussion protocol
Ogbongbemiga (concussion) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's divisional-round matchup against the Rams.
The Oklahoma State product was unable to face the Packers in Chicago's wild-card win after sustaining a concussion the week prior. However, he's now cleared the NFL's five-step protocol and is in line to return Sunday. With T.J. Edwards (lower leg) sidelined, expect Ogbongbemiga to operate as one of the Bears' top middle linebackers during the divisional round.

Ogbongbemiga upgraded to a limited practice session Thursday after having been listed as a non-participant Tuesday and Wednesday, but he nonetheless won't suit up Week 16.

Ogbongbemiga is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Cleveland due to a hamstring injury.

Bears' Amen Ogbongbemiga: Breaks up pass Friday
Ogbongbemiga recorded two solo tackles and a pass breakup in Friday's 24-15 win over the Eagles.
The linebacker also played on more than half of the defensive snaps with T.J. Edwards (hand), Tremaine Edmunds (groin), Noah Sewell (elbow) and Ruben Hyppolite (shoulder) all out due to injuries.

Bears' Amen Ogbongbemiga: Huge fill-in performance
Ogbongbemiga recorded 14 tackles, including two solo, in the Bears' 31-28 win over the Steelers on Sunday.
Ogbongbemiga played his first meaningful defensive snaps of the season after previously appearing only on special teams, and he benefited from Chicago's depleted linebacker group. His 14-tackle outing establishes him as a strong IDP fill-in while the Bears remain thin at linebacker.

Bears' Amen Ogbongbemiga: Activated from IR
Ogbongbemiga (knee) was activated from injured reserve Thursday.
Ogbongbemiga is all set to make his season debut after missing the team's first eight contests of the year while recovering from a knee injury. The 27-year-old recorded 13 total tackles (seven solo), including 1.0 sacks, while appearing in all 17 regular-season games with the Bears in 2024, though he did operate primarily as a special-teams option.

Ogbongbemiga (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Chris Emma of 670TheScore.com reports.
Although Ogbongbemiga logged a full week of practice, he'll remain on the injured reserve list through Chicago's Week 8 matchup. The Oklahoma State product has yet to play in 2025 after recording 13 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, over 17 games with the Bears in 2024.

Bears' Amen Ogbongbemiga: Questionable for Sunday vs. Saints
Ogbongbemiga (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus New Orleans.
Ogbongbemiga has yet to suit up this regular season after being placed on Chicago's injured reserve prior to Week 1, but it looks like there's a chance he could play in Week 7 after participating fully at practice Friday. In 2024, he played 362 snaps on special teams compared to just 15 on defense.

Bears' Amen Ogbongbemiga: Designated to return from IR
The Bears designated Ogbongbemiga (groin) to return from injured reserve Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Ogbongbemiga opened the season on injured reserve, but it appears he has progressed enough in his recovery from a groin injury to return to practice. He was limited in Thursday's practice, so he's unlikely to be reinstated from IR until he logs a full practice, which makes him a long shot to play against the Saints on Sunday.
