Bears get good news regarding linebackers Edwards, Sewell

The Chicago Bears received good injury news Wednesday even though the team didn’t hold a practice.

Starting linebackers T.J. Edwards (hand/hamstring) and Noah Sewell (elbow) both would’ve been back at practice according to an estimated report. Edwards would’ve been limited, while Sewell would’ve been full. Both players were seen at Tuesday’s practice.

It’s a positive sign for a linebacking corps that’s been without all of its starters the last two games. Edwards missed the last four games as he recovered from a broken hand and a nagging hamstring injury. Chicago had been without Sewell the last two games and without starter Tremaine Edmunds, who was placed on injured reserve last month.

The Bears would’ve been without a few starters had they practiced. Wide receiver Rome Odunze (foot), cornerback Tyrique Stevenson (hip), running back Kyle Monangai (ankle) and linebacker Ruben Hyppolite (shoulder) all would’ve missed practice.

Defensive tackle Andrew Billings (concussion) would’ve been a full participant after he left Friday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Cornerback Jaylon Johnson (groin) would’ve been full as well.
