Montez Sweat

Bears declared EDGE Montez Sweat (shin) inactive for Week 9 against the Cardinals.

Sweat’s absence is significant for a Bears defense tasked with containing the highly mobile Kyler Murray. The secondary is also worryingly thin. S Jaquan Brisker, slot CB Kyler Gordon, DL Byron Cowart, RB Khalil Herbert, OL Kiran Amegadjie and OL Braxton Jones are also inactive for this one. Starting CB Tyrique Stevenson has also been demoted following his unfortunate Week 8 antics. He will not start this week.
