Chicago Bears pass rush takes another hit after Montez Sweat suspension
For the next two games, the Chicago Bears will be without defensive end Montez Sweat due to a Performance-Enhancing Drug suspension. But he won’t be the only pass rusher the Bears will be missing.
Fellow defensive end Dayo Odeyingbo is now expected to miss time with his quad injury, head coach Ben Johnson confirmed, via Adam Hoge of CHGO.
How much time Odeyingbo will miss is not yet known. Johnson did say the Bears don’t plan to place him on injured reserve, which would cost four games. Perhaps that puts his timeline at one-to-three weeks. Still, any time missed will be a blow to Chicago’s pass rush.
Through the first five weeks, Odeyingbo has put up three sacks, three quarterback hits and a pair of passes defended. He ranks second on the team in sacks and appeared to be taking a step forward in terms of bringing pressure.
But now, Odeyingbo will be out for an indefinite amount of time. The Bears are going to need a new plan at pass rush quickly.
Chicago Bears injuries piling up
Odeyingbo wasn’t the only Bear dealt a worrying injury update on Wednesday. Linebacker TJ Edwards picked up a hamstring injury in Week 5. Johnson is now calling him week-to-week. The head coach labeled cornerback Tyrique Stevenson day-to-day with his hamstring injury.
Johnson remains confident in Chicago’s depth. But losing either player long-term would force even more changes defensively. Of the two, Edwards’ status seems murkier due to his week-to-week status.
In lighter injury news, quarterback Caleb Williams will be listed as a full participant on Wednesday. Chicago held a walkthrough so it’s not like the team actually practiced. But it’s at least a sign he is inching closer to a return.
The Bears are looking to bounce back after their Week 5 loss to the Green Bay Packers. But they’ll have to do so without some key players on defense.
