Logs DNP on Wednesday
Hyppolite (shoulder) didn't practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
The rookie linebacker from Maryland sustained a shoulder injury in the Bears' Week 12 win over the Steelers, and Wednesday's DNP suggests he's still dealing with the issue. Hyppolite likely needs to upgrade to at least limited practice Thursday in order to play in Friday's matchup against the Eagles.

Leaves game with shoulder injury
Hyppolite (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Pittsburgh, Sean Hammond of the Chicago Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Hyppolite appeared to injure his shoulder late in the first quarter, and he was taken back to the locker room to be evaluated by medical staff. He was thrust into a starting role at outside linebacker after Tremaine Edmunds (groin) was placed on injured reserve Saturday. Amen Ogbongbemiga should see more snaps on defense for as long as Hyppolite is sidelined.

Starting for the first time
Hyppolite will make his first career start Sunday against the Steelers, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The Bears placed Tremaine Edmunds on injured reserve Saturday with a groin issue. Chicago also has two starting linebackers, T.J. Edwards (hand) and Noah Sewell (elbow), who are inactive for Sunday's contest. Hyppolite, a fourth-round pick in April's draft, has played on 17 defensive snaps and 83 special-teams snaps this season, making four tackles (two solo).

Full participant again
Hyppolite (knee) practiced in full for the second day in a row Thursday.
ANALYSIS
The linebacker suffered the knee injury last week against the Giants, but he appears good to go as Sunday's matchup with the Vikings approaches. Hyppolite has been active for five games this season, playing on 70 special-teams snaps and 17 defensive snaps.

Done for Week 10 due to injury
Hyppolite (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's matchup against the Giants, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Hyppolite was deemed questionable to return midway through the third quarter, and he was ruled out in the fourth. The rookie has played primarily on special teams when he's been active this season.

Exits game with knee injury
Hyppolite (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Giants.
ANALYSIS
Hyppolite appeared to sustain the injury in the third quarter of Sunday's game and is being evaluated to determine whether he can return. He's been primarily used on special teams, but his loss would deplete a Chicago linebacker corps that is already without T.J. Edwards (hand/hamstring) for Week 10.
Apr 26, 2025
Headed to Chicago
The Bears selected Hyppolite in the fourth round of the 2025 NFL Draft, 132nd overall.
ANALYSIS
Hyppolite contributed significantly throughout his collegiate career at Maryland, topping 60 tackles in three of his five seasons. There are questions of whether he will be able to handle the physical element of the NFL, but he popped off the page with his athletic testing at his pro day. That was enough to elevate his draft stock, but Hyppolite is likely to be limited to special-teams duty to begin his career.
