Placed on IR
The Bears placed Amegadjie (elbow) on injured reserve Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Amegadjie had been dealing with an elbow injury throughout the past week, though it's unclear when he first picked it up. The 23-year-old will now be forced to miss at least four games before he's eligible to make his return.

Out for Sunday
Amegadjie (elbow) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Cowboys.
ANALYSIS
Amegadjie downgraded from a limited practice Wednesday to DNPs on Thursday and Friday, suggesting his elbow issue worsened throughout the week. While the Yale product is sidelined in Week 3, Luke Newman is projected to serve as the Bears' top reserve guard.

Plays in preseason
Amegadjie (leg) played in the Bears' second preseason game against the Bills on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Amegadjie sat out the team's first exhibition contest versus the Dolphins with a leg injury suffered during practice. In his return against the Bills, the 23-year-old played 33 snaps on offense and five on special teams. The second-year player is looking to compete with Braxton Jones and rookie Ozzy Trapilo for a role on the offensive line, per Courtney Cronin of ESPN.

Sidelined by leg injury
Amegadjie was unable to practice Saturday due to a leg injury, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Amegadjie is competing for a role along the Bears' offensive line, though he looks to be losing out to rookie Ozzy Trapilo. There aren't many details about his injury, but any missed time won't help his chances of earning playing time.

Inactive for Week 12
Amegadjie (calf) is inactive for Sunday's game against Minnesota.
ANALYSIS
Amegadjie will miss a fourth straight game due to a calf injury. He was able to practice in a limited capacity Friday, and while he won't play Sunday, there is a chance he could be available for the Bears' Week 13 game against the Lions on Thursday, Nov. 28.

Missing more time
Amegadije (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Packers.
ANALYSIS
The 2024 third-round pick from Yale has yet to return to practice after sustaining a calf injury in the Bears' Week 8 loss to the Commanders, and he'll now miss his third consecutive game Sunday. Matt Pryor will likely serve as Chicago's third-string left tackle in Amegadije's stead in Week 11.

Won't play Sunday
Amegadije (calf) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Patriots.
ANALYSIS
Amegadije is now in line to miss his second game in a row Sunday due to a calf injury likely sustained in the Bears' Week 8 loss to the Commanders. Chicago will be without three of its top tackles in Amegadije, Braxton Jones (knee) and Darnell Wright (knee) in Week 10. Expect Larry Borom and Matt Pryor to serve as the Bears' top left and right tackles, respectively.
Nov 1, 2024
Ruled out for Week 9
Amegadjie (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against Arizona.
ANALYSIS
Amegadjie popped up on the injury report with a calf issue this week, failing to participate at any of the team's three practices ahead of Week 9. With starter Braxton Jones (knee) also ruled out, Matt Pryor will likely draw the start at left tackle versus the Cardinals.
Sep 6, 2024
Ready for Sunday
Amegadjie (quadriceps) was a full participant in Friday's practice and has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans.
ANALYSIS
Amengadjie was limited earlier in the week due to a quadriceps issue, but it appears he's recovered just in time for Chicago's Week 1 outing. Expect the rookie offensive lineman out of Yale to serve as one of the Bears' top backup tackles Sunday.
Aug 18, 2024
Activated off NFI list
The Bears activated Amegadjie (quadriceps) from the active/NFI list Sunday, Scott Bair of the Falcons' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Amegadjie started training camp on the NFI list due to a quadriceps injury that kept him out of OTAs and minicamp. Now that he's passed his physical, the rookie fourth-rounder will look to get his first taste of NFL action in the Bears' preseason finale against the Chiefs on Thursday.
Jul 17, 2024
Starting camp on NFI list
The Bears placed Amegadjie (quadriceps) on the active/NFI list Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
ANALYSIS
Amegadjie was injured prior to the NFL Draft earlier this offseason and missed all of OTAs and minicamp after the Bears took him in the third round at No. 75 overall. It's hard to envision Amegadjie pushing Braxton Jones or Darnell Wright for a starting job this summer after all of the missed reps.
May 10, 2024
Likely out for OTAs and camp
Amegadjie likely won't participate in OTAs or in rookie minicamp due to a quadriceps injury he sustained prior to the draft, Jason Lieser of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
ANALYSIS
It's likely Chicago was aware Amegadjie wouldn't be fully ready to go right from the jump, so it's probably too early to start ringing any alarm bells. Once ready, he'll compete for reps at tackle with Braxton Jones and Darnell Wright.
