Montez Sweat

Assuming there’s not an appeal, Sweat will miss Week 6 and Week 7. Sweat has two sacks in five appearances so far this season.

NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport called the issue a “short-term illness” when Sweat was first placed on the NFI list. It was indeed a short stay for Sweat, and he should be back at practice on Thursday. Sweat’s 10 sacks in 2025 were the second-best mark of his career. He nearly doubled his total from the previous season. He remains one of the biggest contributors on Chicago’s defense heading into his age-30 season.

Multiple reports have said that this won’t be a long stay. Sweat lead the team with 10 sacks last year. Assuming he is indeed activated soon, Sweat should have plenty of time to be ready for the start of the season.
