The Green Bay Packers are set to welcome two key linebackers back into the fold for Sunday's matchup against their NFC North rivals, the Chicago Bears. T.J. Edwards and Noah Sewell, both starters at linebacker, will return to action after missing several games due to injury.
Edwards, a Wisconsin native, has been dealing with a nagging hamstring issue that kept him out of the lineup since November 2. However, he's confident that his team is ready for their trip to Lambeau Field, where they'll face off against the Packers in front of a sea of Cheesehead fans.
"I'm slowly converting them, for sure," Edwards quipped when asked about his wife and family's allegiance to the Packers. "They wear a blue jacket, but you've got to check the turtlenecks – sometimes they've got green underneath." Despite being an honorary Packers fan, Edwards made it clear that he'll be bringing some extra motivation with him to the game.
Sewell, who suffered an elbow injury three games ago against the Giants, is also looking forward to suiting up and putting in a full 60 minutes of play. "I think it's exciting – we've got all the bullets ready to go," he said.
The Packers have been hit with their own share of injuries, ruling out several key players including cornerbacks Tyrique Stevenson (hip) and Ruben Hyppolite II (shoulder). On the other side of the ball, Green Bay will be without defensive linemen Lukas Van Ness (foot), Collin Oliver (hamstring), and Devonte Wyatt (ankle).

. And Noah Sewell too, I love how he's keeping it casual and saying they've got all their "bullets" ready to go 
. The Packers have been dealing with a lot of injuries, so this is definitely a welcome boost for them. Let's hope Edwards can help lead his team to a win at Lambeau Field – it's gonna be electric! 
! I mean, they've gotta be worried about their own squad getting trashed on their home turf 
. Two key linebackers missing? That's like asking a team to play with one hand tied behind their backs 
. But hey, I guess you can't put a price on motivation – and it sounds like Edwards is gonna bring the heat! And Sewell, I love his vibe, "we've got all the bullets ready to go"... that's some serious football talk 
. Fingers crossed for the Packers (kinda) 
. But with Edwards and Sewell back in action, I'm thinking maybe they'll be able to get that win against the Bears, you know? The Packers need a wake-up call, and this could be it 
. Also, lol T.J. Edwards trying to convert his family – sounds like he's got some extra motivation going on, especially with those turtlenecks 
. Bring it on, season!
So they're bringing back two linebackers but their O-line is a mess? Like, what's the plan there? 
The Packers are basically saying "we've got our LBs back, so who cares about the rest?" 
And isn't it weird that T.J. Edwards thinks his family will convert to being Cheeseheads just because they wear blue jackets with green turtlenecks? 
Come on, dude, you're a linebacker for the Packers, not a fan trying to be cool! 
anyway gotta admit packers are looking pretty weak right now without all those key players but edwards is hyped and sewell's got that fire 
ugh can never be sure what's gonna happen on game day 
! With Edwards and Sewell back in the mix, their defense is gonna be fire 
.
, with injuries popping up left and right. It's like they're trying to test the team's resilience 
️, but I wonder if their return will be enough to overcome the other losses... it's gonna be a tough game against those Bears 
...
. And can we talk about how excited Sewell is to get back out there? 
The Packers are definitely going to need these two stars to shine bright this Sunday, especially with those injuries on their side of the ball... fingers crossed for a great game! 
The Packers might need all the motivation they can get though, considering how many key players are on the sidelines right now... still gonna be an epic battle against the Bears tho! 
! He's like, the ultimate Wisconsin boy 
, and I love how he's embracing his Packers fandom even as a Chicago native 
. But at the same time, I have to feel for him - that hamstring injury has been lingering for months, and I'm sure it's frustrating for him to be missing out on games 
. And can we talk about Noah Sewell for a sec? 
he seems like such a cool cat, and his confidence is infectious 
. I just hope the Packers are ready to bring their A-game, especially with all these injuries piling up 
. On the flip side though, I guess having Sewell and Edwards back is a good thing 
Packers are gonna crush it with T.J. Edwards and Noah Sewell back in the mix
