Bears’ Ben Johnson drops stern reaction to Montez Sweat suspension

Chicago Bears Ben Johnson

When on the field, the Chicago Bears are counting on Montez Sweat to lead their pass rush. However, that won’t be happening over the next two games as Sweat was suspended for violating the NFL’s Performance Enhancing Drug policy.

How his absence on the field will affect Chicago is clearly. Especially with Dayo Odeyingbo suffered a quad injury, the Bears are supremely weak on the pass rush. Sweat had provided seven tackles, four quarterback hits and two sacks through the first five weeks.

How Sweat’s suspension is viewed inside the locker room will likely be handled internally. There still hasn’t been much word of the defensive end’s failed test. Still, a four-year member of the Bears, Sweat is expected to be a leader in Chicago.

Head coach Ben Johnson kept things brief when discussing Sweat’s suspension. But he made his thoughts on the matter extremely clear.

Bears’ Ben Johnson keeps Montez Sweat message blunt

Johnson ended his statement by rattling off numerous players who can step up in Sweat’s absence. Chicago will now be relying on them. As for Sweat, Johnson isn’t too pleased to lose his services off the edge, via the head coach’s Wednesday press conference.

“We’re disappointed whenever we lose a player of his caliber for multiple games, “Johnson said. “We want all of our guys available and playing in ball games to help us win. Next man up, we keep it moving.”

When Sweat returns, the Bears will re-acclimate him into their defensive end rotation as soon as possible. Chicago could add some reinforcements before the trade deadline. But if Sweat is on the field, the Bears will be expecting him to produce.

Johnson is solely focused on winning the next game, in this case Week 6 vs. the Atlanta Falcons. With Sweat not active, the head coach isn’t paying the situation an exorbitant amount of attention. Prior to Sweat’s return though, it seems likely coach and player will talk about what went down.
