The Chicago Bears opted to make sweeping changes after missing the playoffs for the ninth time in 11 yearsMARCH 10, 2022
ALEC OGLETREE
Concludes bounce back season Ogletree notched four tackles in the Bears' 31-17 Week 18 loss to the Vikings, and he ended the season with 87 tackles.
Impact After playing just two games with the Jets in 2020, Ogletree returned to the type of production he posted between 2017-2019 with the Rams and Giants. He'll be an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and he should have little trouble finding a role that allows him to remain as a high-floor IDP.

Tallies eight stops Ogletree recorded eight tackles in the Bears' 29-3 win over the Giants on Sunday.
Impact After being an inconsistent IDP for most of the season, Ogletree has now posted exactly eight tackles in each of his last three games, and he'll be projected as a high-floor fantasy option in Week 18 against the Vikings.

Impact After averaging five tackles per game through Week 14, Ogletree has put together back-to-back eight-tackle efforts. Although he's struggled with consistency over the season, his recent efforts could make him worth a lineup spot in IDP leagues in Week 17 against the Giants.

Full practice Thursday Ogletree (ankle) was able to log a full practice Thursday.
Impact The linebacker improved upon his limited participation from Wednesday, setting him up to make his return Sunday against the Ravens after missing Week 9 with the injury. It seems as if the Week 10 bye week allowed him to rest enough to heal the injury and he will look to build upon his 41 tackles and three pass deflections in Week 11.

Ruled out Ogletree (ankle) will not play in Monday's game against the Steelers.
Impact Ogletree was a non-participant at practice all week, so his questionable designation seemed a little optimistic when it was handed out. The Bears have ultimately opted to err on the side of caution with their starting inside linebacker. Look for Danny Trevathan to see an increased role as a result of his absence.

Questionable for Monday Ogletree (ankle) is officially questionable Monday against the Steelers.
Impact Ogletree hasn't practiced this week, which is usually a troublesome indicator for game day, but being listed questionable and with an extra day to prepare, he's looking like a true game-time decision. If Ogletree can't go, Danny Trevathan will likely see an increased workload.
