Bears' Amen Ogbongbemiga: Activated from IR
Ogbongbemiga (knee) was activated from injured reserve Thursday.
Ogbongbemiga is all set to make his season debut after missing the team's first eight contests of the year while recovering from a knee injury. The 27-year-old recorded 13 total tackles (seven solo), including 1.0 sacks, while appearing in all 17 regular-season games with the Bears in 2024, though he did operate primarily as a special-teams option. This season, Ogbongbemiga is set to slot in as the top reserve option behind T.J. Edwards (hand) at middle linebacker.

Bears' Amen Ogbongbemiga: Staying on IR
Ogbongbemiga (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Chris Emma of 670TheScore.com reports.
Although Ogbongbemiga logged a full week of practice, he'll remain on the injured reserve list through Chicago's Week 8 matchup. The Oklahoma State product has yet to play in 2025 after recording 13 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, over 17 games with the Bears in 2024.

Bears' Amen Ogbongbemiga: Remaining on IR
Ogbongbemiga (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Saints.
Ogbongbemiga was a full participant in practice Thursday and Friday, but he hasn't progressed enough in his recovery from a knee injury to return for Week 7. His next opportunity to make his 2025 regular-season debut is Week 8 against the Ravens on Sunday, Oct. 26.

Bears' Amen Ogbongbemiga: Questionable for Sunday vs. Saints
Ogbongbemiga (knee) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game versus New Orleans.
Ogbongbemiga has yet to suit up this regular season after being placed on Chicago's injured reserve prior to Week 1, but it looks like there's a chance he could play in Week 7 after participating fully at practice Friday. In 2024, he played 362 snaps on special teams compared to just 15 on defense.

Bears' Amen Ogbongbemiga: Designated to return from IR
The Bears designated Ogbongbemiga (groin) to return from injured reserve Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Ogbongbemiga opened the season on injured reserve, but it appears he has progressed enough in his recovery from a groin injury to return to practice. He was limited in Thursday's practice, so he's unlikely to be reinstated from IR until he logs a full practice, which makes him a long shot to play against the Saints on Sunday.

Bears' Amen Ogbongbemiga: Placed on IR
Ogbongbemiga (undisclosed) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, but with a designation to return.
The linebacker can come back after missing the minimum of four regular-season games. Ogbongbemiga suffered a shoulder injury during the Bears' preseason opener but returned in time for the team's second preseason game Aug. 17 against the Bills, so it's unclear if this issue is related to that one. The former Charger saw action on 362 special-teams snaps and 15 defensive snaps for Chicago last year, making 13 tackles (seven solo).

Bears' Amen Ogbongbemiga: Recovered from shoulder injury
Ogbongbemiga (shoulder) logged five tackles (four solo) and a forced fumble during Sunday's 38-0 preseason win over the Bills.
Ogbongbemiga suffered a shoulder during the Bears' preseason opener against the Dolphins, but he progressed enough in his recovery to be cleared to play Sunday. He led the Bears in tackles and forced a fumble late in the third quarter, which led to Chicago scoring 14 plays later on an Ian Wheeler 10-yard rushing touchdown. Ogbongbemiga primarily served on special teams for the Bears in 2024 and logged 13 tackles (seven solo), including 1.0 sacks, across 17 regular-season games, and that role is his clearest path to making the 53-man roster at the end of training camp.

Bears' Amen Ogbongbemiga: Leaves game with shoulder injury
Ogbongbemiga is questionable to return to Sunday's preseason game against Miami due to a shoulder injury, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
Even if the injury is determined to be minor, the Bears will likely play it safe with Ogbongbemiga and keep him sidelined for the rest of Sunday's exhibition game. He is battling for a spot on the 53-man roster as a depth linebacker and special teams contributor.

Bears' Amen Ogbongbemiga: Signs new contract
Ogbongbemiga agreed to a two-year, $5 million deal with the Bears on Thursday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
An undrafted free agent back in 2021, the linebacker latched onto the NFL as a special teamer recording 36 total tackles and two fumble recoveries in three seasons with Los Angeles. The 26-year-old joined the Bears this past season and reprised a similar role playing a career-high 352 special teams snaps in 2024.

Ogbongbemiga (concussion) was left off the Bears' injury report Wednesday.
Ogbongbemiga was thought to have sustained a concussion during the Bears' Week 2 loss to the Texans, but following Wednesday's injury report, it appears he's passed protocol. Expect the Oklahoma State product to remain one of Chicago's top rotational outside linebackers as the season progresses.

Bears' Amen Ogbongbemiga: Being evaluated for concussion
Ogbongbemiga is being evaluated for a concussion in Sunday's contest with the Texans.
Ogbongbemiga appears to have suffered a blow to the head, and his return to the game is now in question. The linebacker operates primarily as a special-teams option, so his absence shouldn't have a major impact on Chicago's defense.

Bears' Amen Ogbongbemiga: Headed to Windy City
Ogbongbemiga signed a contract with the Bears on Thursday, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
Ogbongbemiga spent the first three seasons of his career with the Chargers after going undrafted out of Oklahoma State in 2021. The 25-year-old has primarily seen action on special teams, where he had four tackles and two fumble recoveries in 2023.
