Bears to Face Eagles Without Three Starting Linebackers.
The Chicago Bears will head into their Black Friday matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles without three of their starting linebackers due to injuries and inactives announced on Friday afternoon.
T.J. Edwards, Noah Sewell, and Ruben Hyppolite II will all sit out the game due to hand, elbow, and shoulder issues respectively. Tyrique Stevenson's hip injury also means he'll be inactive, with Dominique Robinson ruled out with a concussion.
However, two other linebackers could get significant playing time for Chicago. D'Marco Jackson and Amen Ogbongbemiga led the team in tackles last week and are expected to fill the void left by Edwards, Sewell, and Hyppolite II.
The Bears also activated cornerback Jaylon Johnson from injured reserve after recovering a groin injury, while Kyler Gordon returned from calf trouble earlier this week. Both cornerbacks will likely see considerable playing time against their opponents.
This weekend's matchup marks an important test for the Bears, who are currently riding an eight-game winning streak and looking to make a deep run in the playoffs.
