Bears' Josh Blackwell: Good to go at Minnesota
Blackwell (concussion) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Vikings.
Blackwell was a full participant at practice throughout the week after sitting out Week 10 versus the Giants with a concussion, and now he's in line to suit up in Week 11. So far in 2025, he's played 121 special teams snaps compared to just three defensive snaps.

Bears' Josh Blackwell: Full participant in practice
Blackwell (concussion) was a full participant in Chicago's practice Wednesday.
Blackwell managed to practice despite suffering a concussion in the Week 10 win over the Giants. However, the 26-year-old will still have to officially clear the league's concussion protocol in order to be eligible to play in Sunday's matchup versus the Vikings.

Bears' Josh Blackwell: Out with concussion
Blackwell (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Giants.
Blackwell suffered a concussion during the Bears' Week 9 victory against the Bengals. The 26-year-old cornerback was not cleared to practice at all this week and will have to sit out Sunday's game. Blackwell's absence will likely mean Luther Burden will take over as the secondary kick and punt returner, with Blackwell's absence coinciding with Burden's return to the field.

In three seasons with the Bears, the 25-year-old undrafted free agent has recorded 44 total tackles, two forced fumbles and one interception primarily as a special teams player. The extension is reportedly worth up to $6 million, which would make him among one of the highest paid special teamers in the NFL.

Bears' Josh Blackwell: Heads to IR
Blackwell (hamstring) was placed on injured reserve Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Blackwell wasn't able practice all week after suffering a hamstring injury during Chicago's Week 3 loss to Kansas City, making it no surprise that he's been placed on IR. The loss of the 24-year-old isn't the biggest to the Bears' defense, as he's recorded only four total tackles through two appearances this season.
