Bears' Austin Booker: Activated from IR
The Bears activated Booker (knee) from injured reserve Tuesday.
Booker practiced in full all of Week 8 but wasn't cleared to return in time for Chicago's loss to the Ravens. Now, however, the 2024 fifth-round pick appears on track to make his 2025 debut Sunday on the road against Cincinnati. Booker figures to handle a depth role in Chicago's defensive end rotation behind Montez Sweat and Dayo Odeyingbo.

He was designated to return Thursday and was a full participant in all three practices this past week, but he will need to be activated from IR before making his 2025 regular-season debut.

Bears' Austin Booker: In jeopardy to miss Week 1
Head coach Ben Johnson told reporters Friday that Booker is going to be out for "a few weeks" due to a knee injury, Sean Hammond of the Chicago Tribune reports.
Booker suffered the injury during the Bears' second preseason game against the Bills, which prevented him from playing against the Chiefs on Friday. The 2024 fifth-rounder is projected to serve in a rotational role at defensive end behind Montez Sweat and Dayo Odeyingbo. Dominique Robinson (ankle), Tanoh Kpassagnon and Daniel Hardy would be candidates to step into a backup role on the Bears' defensive line if Booker cannot suit up in Week 1 against the Vikings on Monday, Sept. 8.

The defensive end has compiled 4.0 sacks so far in the preseason, and he'll look to be back in action in the team's preseason finale against the Chiefs on Friday.
