As expected, the Bears are bringing back Tremaine Edmunds for their rivalry game against the Packers on Saturday right.
They activated the middle linebacker from injured reserve hours before kickoff at Soldier Field. Edmunds missed four games, the minimum allowed on injured reserve, with a groin injury that he suffered last week.
The typically coy Ben Johnson spoke openly this week about Edmunds’ possible return, a sign he was due to be activated. It’s unclear whether Edmunds will be on a limited snap count. His replacement, D’Marco Jackson, was named NFC Defensive Player of the Week after recording a sack and an interception against the Browns.
