Sewell (elbow) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Steelers.
Sewell didn't practice all week after likely sustaining an elbow injury in the Bears' Week 11 win over the Vikings, so it's no surprise that he won't suit up Sunday. The Oregon product has been one of Chicago's top defenders this season, recording 55 total tackles and one forced fumble over nine appearances. While he's out in Week 12, expect D'Marco Jackson to have an expanded role in the Bears' linebacker corps.

Bears' Noah Sewell: No activity Wednesday
Rotowire
Sewell (concussion) did not participate in Chicago's walkthrough Wednesday.
Sewell was knocked out of Monday's win with a concussion after accidentally being hit by a teammate. It's unsurprising that he was unable to take the field in any capacity just two days later, and he could have a tough time clearing the league's protocol in time for Sunday's Week 7 matchup against New Orleans.

With T.J. Edwards (hamstring) still battling his injury, Sewell started for the third time in four contests and played 96 percent of the defensive snaps against Las Vegas.

Bears' Noah Sewell: Leads team in tackles Monday
Rotowire
Sewell recorded nine tackles (seven solo) during Monday's 27-24 loss versus the Vikings.
Sewell was everywhere in Week 1, besting his tackle total from the entirety of the 2024 season in just one contest. It's hard to argue he didn't justify his expanded role in Chicago's regular-season debut, so the team may decide to keep him on the field on a regular basis as the year goes on. He's put his name on the IDP radar heading into a Week 2 matchup at Detroit.

Bears' Noah Sewell: Goes to Windy City
Rotowire
The Bears selected Sewell in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 148th overall.
Sewell was a highly touted prospect coming out of high school and led Oregon in tackles both his freshman and sophomore year. The 22-year-old dropped off dramatically his junior year despite never missing a game due to injury. Essentially a throwback, hard-hitting interior linebacker, Sewell should get ample opportunity to compete for a starting spot with Jack Sanborn.
