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.

Bears' Tremaine Edmunds: Viewed as day-to-day
Rotowire
Bears head coach Matt Eberflus said Wednesday that Edmunds (knee) is considered day-to-day, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
Edmunds was originally feared to have suffered a more significant injury when he left Sunday's 30-13 loss to the Chargers with a knee injury, so Eberflus' update is a positive one. Still, the linebacker's practice participation will be worth monitoring as the Bears prepare to face the Saints in Week 9. Jack Sanborn would be in line for a larger role if Edmunds sits out Sunday in New Orleans.
