Officially active in Week 5 Sewell (Achilles) is active for Sunday's game against the Packers.

Impact Sewell was activated from the reserve/PUP list Saturday but still carried a questionable tag ahead of the divisional clash with Green Bay. However, he is cleared to return after being sidelined to begin the 2026 campaign, though it's unknown if he will see limited action in his first game back from the injury.

Activated from PUP, cleared to play Sunday Sewell (Achilles) was activated from the Bears' reserve/PUP list Saturday.

Impact Sewell drew the questionable tag for Sunday's NFC North tilt against the Packers after logging back-to-back full practices. He's been cleared to be removed from the PUP list, and his questionable tag has also been removed for Week 5, per Adam Hoge of AllCHGO.com. It's unclear whether Sewell will return to a starting role at linebacker, but his return at least bolsters the depth at the position behind D'Marco Jackson, T.J. Edwards and Devin Bush.

Bears open practice window The Bears opened the 21-day practice window for Sewell (Achilles) on Wednesday, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.

Impact Sewell began the 2026 campaign on injured reserve while working his way back from a torn Achilles. Although that means he is required to miss at least two more games, it appears he is moving in a positive direction toward a return. The 24-year-old most recently appeared in 13 regular-season games for Chicago during the 2025 campaign, amassing 59 total tackles and one forced fumble.

SEPTEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Moved to reserve/PUP list Sewell (Achilles) was moved to the reserve/PUP list by the Bears on Sunday.

Impact Sewell suffered a torn Achilles on Dec. 28 against the 49ers, and he is still recovering from the injury. The linebacker spent the entire preseason on the active/PUP list, and he will now be forced to miss at least four games to open the 2026 campaign.

AUGUST 31 • ROTOWIRE

Beginning camp on PUP list Chicago placed Sewell (Achilles) on the active/PUP list Saturday, Adam Hoge of AllCHGO.com reports.

Impact This news doesn't come as a surprise, as Sewell is still working his way back from the torn Achilles he suffered in late December last year. It's not yet clear what the linebacker's timeline to return is, though he's expected to be able to get back on the field at some point this season. When healthy, Sewell is likely to have a role as a rotational linebacker while also contributing on special teams.

Placed on IR Coach Ben Johnson said the Bears will place Sewell (Achilles) on injured reserve Wednesday, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Sewell suffered a torn Achilles in Sunday night's loss to the 49ers and will miss Week 18 and the playoffs for Chicago. Sewell served as the Bears' top reserve linebacker and a top special-teamer. He appeared in 13 games, making nine starts, and recorded a career-high 59 tackles (33 solo) and one forced fumble.

Likely sustained torn Achilles Sewell is believed to have suffered a torn Achilles during Sunday's 42-38 loss to the 49ers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact The third-year pro from Oregon was carted off the field with what appeared to be a serious injury in the third quarter of Sunday's loss. Across 13 appearances in 2025, Sewell recorded 59 total tackles and one forced fumble while contributing on defense (391 snaps) and special teams (147 snaps). Expect Amen Ogbongbemiga to have an expanded role as the Bears' top reserve linebacker while Sewell is likely sidelined for the remainder of the season.

Lining up for return Sewell (elbow) logged a full practice Wednesday.

Impact Sewell has missed the Bears' last two games with an elbow injury. His return to full practice suggests he'll be ready to suit up in Week 14 against the Packers, and he should occupy a key role with Tremaine Edmunds (groin) sidelined.

DECEMBER 3, 2025 • BLEACHERNATION.COM

Remaining out Week 13 Sewell (elbow) has been ruled out for Friday's tilt against the Eagles.

Impact Sewell will miss a second straight game due to an elbow injury. He was listed as a non-participant in all three practice sessions (though two were walkthroughs) this week, so his status for next Sunday's clash against Green Bay is also hazy. The Bears are very depleted at the linebacker position this week, as Tremaine Edmunds (groin) landed on IR last Saturday and Ruben Hyppolite (shoulder) and T.J. Edwards (hand) have both also been ruled out for the matchup versus Philadelphia.

Misses Wednesday's practice Sewell (elbow) didn't practice Wednesday.

Impact Sewell has opened the Bears' week of practice with consecutive DNPs, suggesting he likely won't be available for Friday's matchup against the Eagles. If Sewell is forced to miss his second game in a row due to an elbow injury, Daniel Hardy and Amen Ogbongbemiga could have expanded roles on the Bears' first team defense.

NOVEMBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Starts week as DNP Sewell (elbow) was listed as a non-participant on the Bears' practice estimate Tuesday.

Impact Sewell was sidelined for Sunday's game versus the Steelers with an elbow injury, and now his availability for Week 13 is in jeopardy. He'll likely need to manage some activity at practice Wednesday or Thursday to give himself a chance of suiting up Friday at Philadelphia.

Won't play Sunday Sewell (elbow) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Steelers.

Impact Sewell didn't practice all week after likely sustaining an elbow injury in the Bears' Week 11 win over the Vikings, so it's no surprise that he won't suit up Sunday. The Oregon product has been one of Chicago's top defenders this season, recording 55 total tackles and one forced fumble over nine appearances. While he's out in Week 12, expect D'Marco Jackson to have an expanded role in the Bears' linebacker corps.

NOVEMBER 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sits out again Sewell (elbow) did not participate in practice for the second day in a row Thursday.

Impact The linebacker played 53 of 55 defensive snaps in Week 11 against the Vikings and led the Bears in tackles with 10, but he's now trending toward missing Week 12 versus the Steelers. Sewell will have another chance to get on the practice field Friday. D'Marco Jackson is his backup.
