"Johnson said that the Bears will put a cast on Edwards' surgically repaired hand when he is able to return and that he should be able to resume playing sooner than the four games he would have to miss with an IR stint. The veteran linebacker is also still dealing with the injury to his hamstring that sidelined him for three games."
"The Bears backfield will be near full strength against New York. While D'Andre Swift (groin) carries a questionable designation for Week 10, the running back practiced in full on Thursday and was absent from practice Friday due to what the team deemed a "personal" reason. Running backs Kyle Monangai (ankle) and Roschon Johnson (back) do not carry injury designations for the Giants game."
"Johnson said his plan for divvying up carries is based on a per-series basis and that he's not afraid to ride whichever running back is in the strongest rhythm. "My experience has usually been, there might be a couple plays on the plan, run game or pass game, that you put their number down for going into the week," Johnson said. "Other than that, I think normally it's been by series - hey, this guy's gonna start us off this series.""
Coach Ben Johnson announced T.J. Edwards had surgery to repair a broken hand and will be ruled out against the Giants on Sunday. Edwards will not be placed on injured reserve, and the team plans to put a cast on his repaired hand when he returns to shorten the absence compared with an IR stint. Edwards is also dealing with a hamstring injury that earlier sidelined him for three games. The Bears' backfield is near full strength: D'Andre Swift (groin) is questionable after practicing in full Thursday but missing Friday for a "personal" reason, while Kyle Monangai (ankle) and Roschon Johnson (back) have no designations. Johnson said he will divide carries by series and ride whichever running back is in the strongest rhythm.
