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.

Bears' Amen Ogbongbemiga: Estimated as full participant
Ogbongbemiga (concussion) was listed as a full participant in Chicago's practice estimate Wednesday.
Ogbongbemiga is seemingly trending toward returning after sitting out last week's wild-card win over the Packers due to a concussion. The 27-year-old will aim to make his return during Sunday's divisional-round matchup against the Rams if he clears the league's concussion protocol in time.

Bears' Amen Ogbongbemiga: Ruled out to face Packers
Ogbongbemiga (concussion) is ruled out for Saturday's wild-card matchup against Green Bay.
Ogbongbemiga was not listed on Chicago's injury report Tuesday, but he was added as a non-participant Wednesday and Thursday and appears to now be in the NFL's five-step concussion protocol. In order to be eligible for the Bears' next contest should the team advance further in the NFC playoffs, Ogbongbemiga will first need to fully clear the concussion protocol.

Bears' Amen Ogbongbemiga: Ready for Sunday
Ogbongbemiga (hamstring) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the 49ers.
The 27-year-old from Oklahoma State upgraded from a limited practice Thursday to a full session Friday, suggesting he's moved past his hamstring issue in time to play Sunday. Now fully healthy, Ogbongbemiga is expected to operate as the Chicago's No. 2 middle linebacker in Week 17.

Bears' Amen Ogbongbemiga: Ruled out for Week 16
Ogbongbemiga (hamstring) is ruled out for Saturday's game against the Packers.
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.

Bears' Amen Ogbongbemiga: Exits with hamstring issue Week 15
Ogbongbemiga is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Cleveland due to a hamstring injury.
Ogbongbemiga was deemed questionable to return early in the fourth quarter. With fellow linebacker Ruben Hyppolite (coach's decision) inactive Sunday, Jalen Reeves-Maybin and Noah Sewell may see more defensive snaps.

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. Ogbongbemiga has made a combined 16 tackles (four solo) over the last two games, as he's taken on an active role at linebacker.

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. This season, Ogbongbemiga is set to slot in as the top reserve option behind T.J. Edwards (hand) at middle linebacker.

Bears' Amen Ogbongbemiga: Staying on IR
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: Remaining on IR
Ogbongbemiga (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Saints.
Ogbongbemiga was a full participant in practice Thursday and Friday, but he hasn't progressed enough in his recovery from a knee injury to return for Week 7. His next opportunity to make his 2025 regular-season debut is Week 8 against the Ravens on Sunday, Oct. 26.

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.

Bears' Amen Ogbongbemiga: Placed on IR
Ogbongbemiga (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, but with a designation to return.
The linebacker can come back after missing the minimum of four regular-season games. Ogbongbemiga suffered a shoulder injury during the Bears' preseason opener but returned in time for the team's second preseason game Aug. 17 against the Bills, so it's unclear if this issue is related to that one. The former Charger saw action on 362 special-teams snaps and 15 defensive snaps for Chicago last year, making 13 tackles (seven solo).

Bears' Amen Ogbongbemiga: Recovered from shoulder injury
Ogbongbemiga (shoulder) logged five tackles (four solo) and a forced fumble during Sunday's 38-0 preseason win over the Bills.
Ogbongbemiga suffered a shoulder during the Bears' preseason opener against the Dolphins, but he progressed enough in his recovery to be cleared to play Sunday. He led the Bears in tackles and forced a fumble late in the third quarter, which led to Chicago scoring 14 plays later on an Ian Wheeler 10-yard rushing touchdown. Ogbongbemiga primarily served on special teams for the Bears in 2024 and logged 13 tackles (seven solo), including 1.0 sacks, across 17 regular-season games, and that role is his clearest path to making the 53-man roster at the end of training camp.

Bears' Amen Ogbongbemiga: Leaves game with shoulder injury
Ogbongbemiga is questionable to return to Sunday's preseason game against Miami due to a shoulder injury, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
Even if the injury is determined to be minor, the Bears will likely play it safe with Ogbongbemiga and keep him sidelined for the rest of Sunday's exhibition game. He is battling for a spot on the 53-man roster as a depth linebacker and special teams contributor.
