Edmunds logged eight tackles (four solo) during Chicago's 38-13 loss to the 49ers on Sunday. Edmunds had a solid outing despite the loss as he racked up the second most tackles on the team behind T.J. Edwards. Edmunds has now recorded 82 tackles (45 solo), with 1.0 sacks, and an interception and will look to add to those totals during the team's Week 15 matchup versus the Vikings.

Edmunds logged eight tackles (four solo) during Chicago's 38-13 loss to the 49ers on Sunday. Edmunds had a solid outing despite the loss as he racked up the second most tackles on the team behind T.J. Edwards. Edmunds has now recorded 82 tackles (45 solo), with 1.0 sacks, and an interception and will look to add to those totals during the team's Week 15 matchup versus the Vikings.
Edmunds tallied nine tackles (four solo) and defended a pass in the Bears' 30-27 overtime loss to the Vikings on Sunday. This was only the third time all season that the Edmunds recorded more than seven tackles. The linebacker remains a player who typically posts 4-6 stops with occasional upside.
Edmunds tallied 10 stops in the Bears' 18-15 loss to the Commanders on Sunday. Edmunds recorded his second game of the season with at least 10 tackles. However, coming into this game, the linebacker averaged five stops over Chicago's previous four games. Edmunds remains a solid-floor IDP with occasional upside.
Edmunds recorded five tackles and an interception in the Bears' 21-16 loss to the Colts on Sunday. Edmunds has failed to top five tackles in two of three games to start the season, though he's posted a sack and an interception to bolster his IDP value. The linebacker's uneven production make him a volatile weekly IDP option, though Edmunds has significant upside.
Edmunds recorded 11 tackles and a sack in the Bears' 19-13 loss to the Texans on Sunday. After an uncharacteristically low tackle total of four in Week 1, Edmunds came roaring back against the Texans. In 2023, the linebacker posted 113 tackles in 15 games, and the 11 tackles Edmunds tallied this week put him back on track as a strong weekly IDP option.
Edmunds averaged 7.5 tackles last year and is expected to resume his role as Chicago's middle linebacker in 2024. Edmunds posted at least seven tackles in 10 of 15 games, making him a high-floor IDP most weeks. Going into the second of a four-year deal with the Bears, Edmunds will likely retain similar IDP production in 2024.
Edmunds sustained a knee injury that knocked him out of Sunday's game at New Orleans, but for now it seems like he avoided anything too serious. His status for Week 10 is still up in the air though - Chicago's official injury reports this week will provide more insight in that regard.
Edmunds was originally feared to have suffered a more significant injury when he left Sunday's 30-13 loss to the Chargers with a knee injury, so Eberflus' update is a positive one. Still, the linebacker's practice participation will be worth monitoring as the Bears prepare to face the Saints in Week 9. Jack Sanborn would be in line for a larger role if Edmunds sits out Sunday in New Orleans.
Even so, Edmunds could still miss multiple games, and more testing is necessary to determine the exact severity of the issue. If he does miss time, Jack Sanborn will probably see an uptick in reps at linebacker.
