Edmunds missed the last two games because of a knee injury.

The hit that sidelined Bears linebacker Tremaine Edmunds was one of the worst a player could take. On a play against the Chargers on Oct. 29, 312-pound defensive tackle Gervon Dexter inadvertently dove straight into Edmunds’ right knee at full speed.

Edmunds worried that his season was over, but it wasn’t that severe. After missing two games, he was limited in practice Friday and is listed as questionable for the Lions game Sunday.

“It was scary in the moment, but when I looked at the video it was really scary,” Edmunds told the Sun-Times.
