CHICAGO (AP) — Bears linebacker T.J. Edwards is expected to miss
the rest of the season after he hurt his left leg Saturday night
in a 31-27 victory over the Green Bay Packers in the wild-card
round of the NFL playoffs.
Coach Ben Johnson said it looks like Edwards “had a fibula
fracture which we’ll take him out for the rest of the season
here.”
Edwards went down early in the second quarter after his left
foot got caught up with the leg of Packers receiver Christian
Watson and bent awkwardly. He was fitted with an air cast before
he was carted away.
The 29-year-old Edwards was limited to 10 games during the
regular season because of injuries. He returned an interception
34 yards for a touchdown in Chicago's 42-38 loss at San
Francisco on Dec. 28.
Edwards signed a two-year contract extension with Chicago in
April.
