"Edmunds is eligible to return ahead of the Bears' second meeting the Green Bay Packers on Dec. 20. Edmunds is tied for the second-most interceptions in the NFL with four and was in the midst of a strong season that has been sparked by his switch from middle to weakside linebacker. Edmunds has a team-high nine passes defensed and leads the Bears in tackles with 89. The next highest tackle total is Sewell's with 55."
"The Bears will turn to linebacker D'Marco Jackson and Ruben Hyppolite IV against the Steelers. Both players have combined for a total of 50 defensive snaps this season. Chicago also has reserve linebacker and special teams ace Amen Ogbongbemiga and Jalen Reeves-Maybin, who was signed to the practice squad this week. In light of both injuries, the Bears signed running back Brittain Brown and linebacker Carl Jones Jr. to the active roster."
