Bears' Tremaine Edmunds: Strong tackle total in loss
Rotowire
Edmunds recorded nine tackles, including seven solo, in the Bears' 42-38 loss to the 49ers on Sunday.
Edmunds posted at least seven tackles in nine of his first 10 games this season before returning from a four-game absence with a groin injury last week. He followed up a six-tackle effort against Green Bay with another high-volume outing. The tackle consistency keeps him in the high-floor IDP tier when he's active.

Bears' Tremaine Edmunds: Jumps on key fumble vs. Green Bay
Rotowire
Edmunds logged six tackles (one solo) and a fumble recovery during the Bears' 22-16 overtime win over the Packers on Saturday.
Nahshon Wright pried the football out of Josh Jacobs' hands midway through the third quarter, which Edmunds recovered to stop the Packers' red-zone drive in its tracks. Edmunds played in 67 of 72 defensive snaps (93.1 percent), which was an encouraging sign given that it was first game back from injured reserve. He reached the tackling century mark in each of his first seven seasons in the NFL, and he's up to 95 combined tackles through 11 regular-season games in 2025. Edmunds could reach that tackling milestone for an eighth straight year as soon as this Sunday against the 49ers.

Bears' Tremaine Edmunds: Questionable after full practice
Rotowire
Edmunds (groin) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Packers after practicing fully Thursday.
Edmunds' full participation Thursday bodes well for his chances of suiting up for Saturday's pivotal matchup, but the linebacker would first need to be added back to the roster from injured reserve in order to be eligible to play. His practice window to return from IR was opened Monday, and Edmunds subsequently put forth a pair of limited practices before upgrading to full participation Thursday.

Bears' Tremaine Edmunds: Limited in return to practice
Rotowire
Edmunds (groin) was a limited participant in Tuesday's walkthrough practice.
Edmunds missed the Bears' last four games due to a groin injury, but he was designated to return from IR on Monday and has progressed enough in his recovery to participate in practice, albeit in a limited capacity during Tuesday's walkthrough. He would need to be activated from IR in order to be available for Saturday's NFC North tilt against the Packers. D'Marco Jackson has started in each of the Bears' last four games, but he would likely revert to a rotational role on defense and contributor on special teams once Edmunds is cleared to return.

Bears' Tremaine Edmunds: Fades injury report
Rotowire
Edmunds (undisclosed) was not listed on Thursday's estimated injury report.
The Bears did not hold a practice Thursday, but Edmunds' absence from the practice report indicates that he is past a soft-tissue injury that cropped up during the last few days of training camp. Barring any setbacks, the 2018 first-rounder is poised to be available for Monday's regular-season opener against the Vikings. Edmunds has logged at least 100 total tackles in each of his seven NFL seasons and is an integral part of a linebacker corps that also includes Ruben Hyppolite and T.J. Edwards (hamstring).
Head coach Ben Johnson said Friday that Edmunds is working through a soft-tissue injury that isn't a long-term concern, Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Edmunds did not play in the Bears' preseason finale against the Chiefs on Friday due to the injury, but he doesn't appear to be in jeopardy of missing Chicago's Week 1 contest against Minnesota on Monday, Sept. 8. He played a career-high 1,016 defensive snaps across 17 regular-season games in 2024 and finished with 110 tackles (60 solo), including 1.0 sacks, eight pass defenses (one interception) and one forced fumble.
