Noah Sewell Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Bears vs Packers game on Sunday with our National Football League injury report.Nov 27, 2025
Remaining out Week 13
Sewell (elbow) has been ruled out for Friday's tilt against the Eagles.
ANALYSIS
Sewell will miss a second straight game due to an elbow injury. He was listed as a non-participant in all three practice sessions (though two were walkthroughs) this week, so his status for next Sunday's clash against Green Bay is also hazy. The Bears are very depleted at the linebacker position this week, as Tremaine Edmunds (groin) landed on IR last Saturday and Ruben Hyppolite (shoulder) and T.J. Edwards (hand) have both also been ruled out for the matchup versus Philadelphia.

Misses Wednesday's practice
Sewell (elbow) didn't practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Sewell has opened the Bears' week of practice with consecutive DNPs, suggesting he likely won't be available for Friday's matchup against the Eagles. If the Oregon product is forced to miss his second game in a row due to an elbow injury, Daniel Hardy and Amen Ogbongbemiga could have expanded roles on the Bears' first team defense.
Nov 25, 2025
Starts week as DNP
Sewell (elbow) was listed as a non-participant on the Bears' practice estimate Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Sewell was sidelined for Sunday's game versus the Steelers with an elbow injury, and now his availability for Week 13 is in jeopardy. He'll likely need to manage some activity at practice Wednesday or Thursday to give himself a chance of suiting up Friday at Philadelphia.
Nov 21, 2025
Won't play Sunday
Sewell (elbow) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
Sewell didn't practice all week after likely sustaining an elbow injury in the Bears' Week 11 win over the Vikings, so it's no surprise that he won't suit up Sunday. The Oregon product has been one of Chicago's top defenders this season, recording 55 total tackles and one forced fumble over nine appearances. While he's out in Week 12, expect D'Marco Jackson to have an expanded role in the Bears' linebacker corps.

Sits out again
Sewell (elbow) did not participate in practice for the second day in a row Thursday.
ANALYSIS
The linebacker played 53 of 55 defensive snaps in Week 11 against the Vikings and led the Bears in tackles with 10, but he's now trending toward missing Week 12 versus the Steelers. Sewell will have another chance to get on the practice field Friday. D'Marco Jackson is his backup.
Nov 19, 2025
Dealing with elbow injury
Sewell (elbow) did not participate at practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Sewell led the Bears in tackles (10) in Week 11 at Minnesota, but he's now sidelined with an elbow issue to begin Week 12 prep. He'll probably have to return to practice Thursday or Friday to have any chance of suiting up Sunday versus the Steelers.
Nov 16, 2025
Strong performance in victory
Sewell recorded 10 tackles, including four solo, in the Bears' 19-17 win over the Vikings on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Sewell started again for T.J. Edwards (hand) and has produced five to 11 tackles in each of the five contests Edwards has missed, reaching nine or more in four of them. He profiles as a high-floor IDP when Edwards is sidelined.
Oct 17, 2025
Ruled out for Week 7
Sewell (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Saints.
ANALYSIS
Sewell remains in concussion protocol after being injured in a collision with a teammate during Monday's win over the Commanders. Ruben Hyppolite, D'Marco Jackson and Carl Jones are the top candidates for additional playing time in Sewell's absence.
Oct 15, 2025
No activity Wednesday
Sewell (concussion) did not participate in Chicago's walkthrough Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Sewell was knocked out of Monday's win with a concussion after accidentally being hit by a teammate. It's unsurprising that he was unable to take the field in any capacity just two days later, and he could have a tough time clearing the league's protocol in time for Sunday's Week 7 matchup against New Orleans.
Oct 13, 2025
Done for night
Sewell (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Monday night's contest against Washington, Sean Hammond of the Chicago Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Sewell suffered a blow to the head in the first half, which ultimately resulted in him being diagnosed with a concussion. In his absence, D'Marco Jackson will continue to operate in a more significant role at outside linebacker versus the Commanders.
Oct 1, 2025
Five tackles in victory
Sewell recorded five tackles (one solo) in the Bears' win over the Raiders on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
With T.J. Edwards (hamstring) still battling his injury, Sewell started for the third time in four contests and played 96 percent of the defensive snaps against Las Vegas. Chicago has a Week 5 bye, and Edwards could potentially return after the open date. Through four games, Sewell has 30 tackles (17 solo), including a pair of TFLs.
Sep 22, 2025
Huge tackle totals in win
Sewell tallied 11 stops in the Bears' 31-14 win over the Cowboys on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Through three games, Sewell has games with 11, nine and five tackles. Unless he gains some consistency, he's looking like a high floor IDP.
Sep 9, 2025
Leads team in tackles Monday
Sewell recorded nine tackles (seven solo) during Monday's 27-24 loss versus the Vikings.
ANALYSIS
Sewell was everywhere in Week 1, besting his tackle total from the entirety of the 2024 season in just one contest. It's hard to argue he didn't justify his expanded role in Chicago's regular-season debut, so the team may decide to keep him on the field on a regular basis as the year goes on. He's put his name on the IDP radar heading into a Week 2 matchup at Detroit.
Nov 15, 2024
Cleared for Week 11 return
Sewell (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Packers.
ANALYSIS
Sewell missed last Sunday's loss to the Patriots. He's played just four defensive snaps this season but is active on Chicago's special teams units.
Nov 10, 2024
Won't play Week 10
Sewell (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game against New England.
ANALYSIS
Sewell has been dealing with a knee injury this week, and it appears severe enough for him to be sidelined Sunday. His next chance at suiting up will be Week 11 against the Packers on Sunday, Nov. 17.
Dec 27, 2023
Full practice Wednesday
Sewell (knee) was a full participant at the Bears' practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Sewell missed Chicago's last two contests due to a knee injury, but he now appears to be a full go ahead of Sunday's matchup with Atlanta. The linebacker has recorded nine tackles and a forced fumble over the 11 games he's appeared in so far during his rookie campaign with the Bears.
Dec 22, 2023
Will miss second straight week
Sewell (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.
ANALYSIS
Sewell was unable to practice all week and will miss his second straight game and fourth game of the season. He's primarily played on special teams this year and has nine tackles (four solo) and a forced fumble over 11 games.
Dec 15, 2023
Ruled out with knee injury
Sewell (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 15 clash against Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
Sewell logged a full practice session Wednesday but was limited Thursday and didn't practice at all Friday. It's unclear if his current issue is related to the knee injury that cost him two straight games prior to the Bears' Week 13 bye. Sewell has worked mostly on special teams this season, logging just 25 defensive snaps over 11 contests.
Dec 7, 2023
Full go Thursday
Sewell (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
ANALYSIS
The rookie linebacker most recently appeared in the Bears' Week 10 win over the Panthers, but it now seems as if he's had enough time to move past his knee issue. Sewell appeared in each of Chicago's first 10 games this season, logging eight total tackles and playing almost strictly on special teams (25 of 237 total snaps on defense).
Nov 25, 2023
Will miss Week 12
Sewell (knee) has been ruled out of Monday's game against the Vikings, Chris Emma of 670TheScore.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Sewell will miss his second straight game after he was unable to log a practice session leading up to Monday's game. The rookie linebacker has mostly played on special teams this season and has accumulated eight tackles (four solo) and a forced fumble in 10 games.
Nov 17, 2023
Missing Sunday's contest
Sewell (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Lions.
ANALYSIS
The rookie linebacker out of Oregon popped up on Chicago's injury report Thursday with a knee issue, and he didn't practice Friday, so it's no surprise that he'll be held out of Sunday's affair. Sewell has played almost strictly on special teams for the Bears thus far, recording eight total tackles on the year.
Aug 15, 2023
Pushing for prominent role
Sewell is trying to challenge Jack Sanborn for the Bears' starting job at middle linebacker, Adam Jahns of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Although Sanborn is currently the starter, he missed a couple tackles in the Bears' first preseason game while Sewell, the team's fifth-round pick, has had an impressive camp. There could be a chance that the depth chart changes at some point, though nothing seems imminent at this time. Whichever player starts at middle linebacker will potentially be a strong IDP option.

Goes to Windy City
The Bears selected Sewell in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 148th overall.
ANALYSIS
Sewell was a highly touted prospect coming out of high school and led Oregon in tackles both his freshman and sophomore year. The 22-year-old dropped off dramatically his junior year despite never missing a game due to injury. Essentially a throwback, hard-hitting interior linebacker, Sewell should get ample opportunity to compete for a starting spot with Jack Sanborn.
