The Bears have lost Montez Sweat for two pivotal games, creating a massive defensive challenge at the worst possible time.
Chicago Bears pass rusher Montez Sweat has been suspended without pay for two games for violating the NFL's policy on performance-enhancing substances. The defensive end will be sidelined for Sunday's matchup against the Atlanta Falcons and a Week 7 Thursday night game against the New England Patriots, becoming eligible to return on Friday, October 23.
The suspension creates significant depth issues along Chicago's defensive front, particularly with defensive end Dayo Odeyingbo dealing with a quad injury. With Sweat out, the Bears are expected to lean more heavily on Austin Booker, James Lynch, and newly activated defensive lineman Shemar Turner.
