The league announced the punishment on Tuesday. Chicago visits
Atlanta on Sunday and hosts New England on Oct. 22.
The loss of Sweat is a big blow for the Bears as they look to
bounce back from Sunday's 31-7 loss at Green Bay. He has two of
the team's 12 sacks through five games.
Fellow defensive lineman Shemar Turner replaced Sweat on
Chicago's roster. The 23-year-old Turner, a second-round
selection in last year's draft, opened the season on the
physically unable to perform list while he continued his
recovery from a torn ACL.
The 6-foot-6 Sweat was selected by Washington in the first round
of the 2019 draft. He played for the team for four-plus seasons
before he was traded to Chicago on Oct. 31, 2023.
Sweat has 23 1/2 sacks in 47 games with the Bears, including 10
last season. He has 59 sacks in 114 games overall.
