Sweat missed Wednesday’s practice but returned on Thursday and was then upgraded to a full session before being listed as questionable. We fully expect him to play through the injury on Sunday. Sweat has 3.5 sacks, five TFLS, and a forced fumble this year.

Sweat dealt with an ankle injury in October before suffering a shin injury a few weeks later. Although the shin injury is now behind him, the team now lists him with an ankle issue. It is unclear as to whether this is a new injury or a continuation of the old one though.

Kyler Gordon, who missed Week 9 with a hamstring issue, was also limited. Sweat bookended last week’s three practices with DNPs and was eventually made inactive on Sunday. A return to practice is a step in the right direction but doesn’t guarantee his availability for Week 10. The Bears were down multiple key defenders versus the Cardinals on Sunday and got rocked, giving up 29 points. It’s the first time Chicago has allowed more than 21 points in a game this season. Drake Maye’s fantasy outlook would receive a notable boost if Sweat or Gordon can’t play this week.

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.
