Bears' Andrew Billings: Sheds sling after surgery

Billings underwent surgery to address a ruptured pectoral, Scott Bair of Marquee Sports Network reports.

Billings missed the last nine games of the 2024 season after tearing his pectoral in Week 9 at Arizona, but he now seems to be recovering well ahead of the start of the new league year. He projects as a regular contributor on the interior of Chicago's defensive line in 2025.
