Impact Edwards had to be carted off the field with an air cast on his leg after suffering the injury during the first half of Saturday's wild-card win over Green Bay. Considering the nature of the issue, it's no surprise that he'll almost certainly be unable to return to action no matter how far Chicago advances in the playoffs. With Noah Sewell (Achilles) landing on IR in late December and done for the campaign, it remains to be seen who the Bears will call upon to take Edwards' place in the starting lineup. The team may need to turn to Amen Ogbongbemiga, if he's able to return from a concussion to suit up next weekend in the divisional round.

Suffers ankle injury Edwards suffered an ankle injury during Saturday's wild-card round game against the Packers and is doubtful to return.

Impact Edwards banged his leg off a Packers' wide receiver in accidental contact during the first half, and he was carted off the field with an air cast on his leg. While he's officially doubtful, it would be shocking to see him retake the field. This could conclude an injury-plagued season for Edwards, as he was only able to suit up in 11 total games.

He is signed through 2026 and profiles as a bounce-back IDP candidate if healthier next season.

Pick-six highlights outing Edwards returned an interception for a touchdown while recording nine tackles, including six solo, in the Bears' 42-38 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.

Impact Edwards has now posted more than seven tackles in four of his eight games this season while never falling below four stops in any appearance. This marked his first interception of the year, and the return touchdown added a rare splash play to his stat line. He remains a moderate-floor IDP based on consistent tackle involvement.

DECEMBER 29, 2025 • BLEACHERNATION.COM

Playing Sunday night Edwards (glute) is active for Sunday Night Football against the 49ers.

Impact The middle linebacker did not participate in Wednesday's practice and was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's estimated practice report, though he did upgrade to a limited session Friday. Edwards has 54 tackles (25 solo) and three pass breakups in eight games this season.

DECEMBER 29, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for Sunday Edwards (glute) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the 49ers.

Impact The Wisconsin product upgraded from a DNP on Thursday to a limited session Friday, suggesting he's trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's contest. Edwards is a crucial part of the Bears' linebacker corps, tallying 54 total tackles and three passes defensed over just eight games this season. If he's sidelined in Week 17, expect Amen Ogbongbemiga to operate as Chicago's top middle linebacker.

DECEMBER 26, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as non-participant Edwards (glute) is listed as a non-participant on Thursday's estimated practice report.

Impact Edwards also missed practice Wednesday. The starting linebacker appears to have emerged from Chicago's win over Green Bay in Week 16 with a notable glute issue, despite playing 100 percent of defensive snaps versus the Packers and compiling 10 tackles (five solo) including 0.5 sacks. Friday will be his last chance to take the practice field ahead of Sunday's contest against the 49ers.

DNP with glute issue Edwards (glute) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Edwards had a double-digit tackle game last Saturday against the Packers. At the same time, he played 100 percent of the team's defensive snaps, so it is unclear when the linebacker sustained his current injury. The 29-year-old will have two more chances to increase his practice participation in hopes of dodging an injury designation before Sunday night's primetime game against the 49ers.
