Bears' Linebacker Tremaine Edmunds Shares Week 1 Injury Status.
Chicago Bears' Linebacker Tremaine Edmunds Updates Injury Status Ahead of 2023's NFL Season Opener, as reported by Kaitlin Sharkey.
The Bears are keenly awaiting the return of Tremaine Edmunds, having made a significant investment in the two-time Pro Bowler and former Buffalo Bills star this offseason. The Bears solidified their linebacker unit by signing Edmunds to a hefty 4-year, $72 million deal, marking him as one of the premier free agents this year.
While specifics regarding Edmunds' injury, which led to him missing several practices, remain undisclosed, his comeback has the potential to reinvigorate the Bears for the forthcoming season. Speaking with Around the NFL's Nick Shook earlier in the summer, Edmunds expressed his enthusiasm about joining the Bears. «Joining the Bears was about embracing challenges,» Edmunds shared. «There's something about being underestimated that drives me. I was drawn to a team where I could contribute to its transformation.»
At 25, Edmunds is gearing up for his sixth NFL season. His previous season with the Bills saw him achieve 102 tackles, 1 sack, 1 interception, and 7 pass deflections. With Pro Bowl selections in both 2019 and 2020, and a ranking by Pro Football Focus as the 5th best linebacker last year, he's a formidable addition to the Bears.
As the 2023 NFL season opener looms, Edmunds and the revamped Bears defense are set to face off against the Green Bay Packers on their home turf.
