T.J. Edwards — Out
Edwards is still working his way back from a hamstring injury that he suffered in Week 5 against the Packers, and he will now be forced to miss a second straight contest. In his absence, Noah Sewell will stand to draw the start at middle linebacker versus the Patriots.
T.J. Edwards — Out
Edwards was considered to be a limited participant at the team's walkthrough Wednesday, but he was given a doubtful designation ahead of Thursday Night Football. The linebacker has been dealing with a hamstring injury since Week 5, and he appears likely to miss a second game in a row with the injury. If Edwards is unavailable against New England, Noah Sewell would stand to operate in a more significant role on Chicago's defense again in Week 7.
T.J. Edwards — Questionable
Chicago only held a walkthrough practice Monday, but the team estimated that Edwards would have been sidelined had it been a full-speed session. He'll probably have to practice Tuesday or Wednesday to have a realistic chance of suiting up Thursday versus the Patriots.
T.J. Edwards — Out
The designation doesn't come as a surprise, given that Edwards was labeled as week-to-week due to a hamstring injury that he sustained during the Bears' Week 5 loss to the Packers. A return to practice would be a positive step for the veteran linebacker, whose next opportunity to play is Week 7 against the Patriots on Thursday. Noah Sewell figures to be the top candidate to start alongside D'Marco Jackson and Devin Bush for as long as Edwards is sidelined.
T.J. Edwards — Doubtful
Earlier Wednesday, head coach Ben Johnson labeled Edwards as week-to-week after he exited Sunday's loss to the Packers due to the hamstring injury. With Edwards likely to be ruled out for a Week 6 matchup with the Falcons, the Bears are expected to turn to D'Marco Jackson and Noah Sewell to pick up extra snaps at linebacker.
T.J. Edwards — Doubtful
Edwards suffered a hamstring injury in Sunday's loss to the Packers and did not return. While he hasn't officially been ruled out for the Week 6 meeting with the Falcons, he's not expected to be on the field. If that's the case, D'Marco Jackson and Noah Sewell are expected to be more involved.
T.J. Edwards — Questionable
Outside linebacker D'Marco Jackson will receive the green dot and call defensive plays for the remainder of the contest, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports. While Jackson calls plays from outside, Noah Sewell will likely take over at middle linebacker.
T.J. Edwards — Questionable
Edwards came up slow after a tackle in the second quarter and continued playing until he sustained a hard collision on the next play. Noah Sewell is the next man up at middle linebacker.
T.J. Edwards — Active
Edwards played on 100 percent of the Bears' defensive snaps for the second time in as many games to open the season. However, Edwards' tackle total remained modest, and he'll look to boost his production in a Week 3 matchup against the Eagles.
