If Chicago Bears fans were asked what the worst-case scenario would be for their upcoming Pittsburgh Steelers Week 12 showdown after the first injury report, they might say not having their top three linebackers on the field. Guess what? It happened.
The Bears released their final Week 12 injury report, and it lists five players not playing against the Steelers. Three of them are linebackers and are the team's top tacklers. Tremaine Edmunds (groin), T.J. Edwards (hand/hamstring), and Noah Sewell (elbow) will not be playing after missing all three of the practices this week.
Also out for the Bears are running backs Travis Homer (hamstring/knee) and Roschon Johnson (thumb).
