Montez Sweat reveals conversation with Ben Johnson after NFL suspension
Chicago Bears defensive end Montez Sweat served a two-game suspension, which ended after Thursday’s game against the New England Patriots. He revealed the conversation he had with his head coach, Ben Johnson, when the league handed him his punishment.
Sweat entered the NFL as the No. 26 overall pick in the 2019 draft. He spent the first four-and-a-half seasons of his professional career with the Washington Commanders. The Mississippi State product landed in Chicago following a trade in October 2023. He has since appeared in 42 regular-season game for the franchise.
The good news for Sweat and the Bears is they won both games without him. They defeated the Atlanta Falcons 31-23 in Week 5 and 30-24 over the Patriots last week.

Sweat admitted that he had a difficult conversation with Johnson. However, he stressed that he owned up to his mistake and explained his side to the second-year head coach.
“It was tough,” Sweat said. “Nobody wants to go look someone in the eye after you’ve done something detriment like that to the team, but I mean, those are the things you have to do to move forward.”

The 30-year-old was suspended for failing a performance-enhancing drug test. He has since said that it was accidental and apologized to his teammates and coaches. He will return to action on Nov. 2 when the Bears take on the Seattle Seahawks at Lumen Field. ESPN will air the “Monday Night Football” matchup at 8:15 p.m. ET.
Chicago is 5-2 for the season and second in the NFC North. Sweat’s availability is a huge boost to the team as it aims to string more wins together. He brings a lot of experience to the table and serves as one of the defense’s leaders on and off the field.
