Chicago Bears set to lose key player before playoffs to nasty injury
The Chicago Bears and San Francisco 49ers traded powerful blows on “Sunday Night Football.”
More News: Bears WR Luther Burden III suffered quad injury
The Bears came up just short of the 49ers, losing 42-38 via an incomplete pass from the San Francisco 2-yard line as time expired.
Wide receiver Luther Burden III was injured on the final play. The Bears believe the rookie wide receiver did not suffer a major injury, suggesting he should return for the postseason.
However, Chicago is expected to be without a key defender for the playoffs.
Per Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, linebacker Noah Sewell is believed to have suffered a torn Achilles.
“Bears LB Noah Sewell, who has been a key part of the defense especially with all the injuries to the position, is believed to have torn his Achilles, sources say,” Rapoport posted on X. “He’ll have an MRI to confirm. Right before he was to play his brother, Lions OT Penei Sewell, Noah is out.”

The Chicago Bears need rookie LB Reuben Hyppolite to step up

More News: Lions could be plotting big-time revenge on Ben Johnson
Sewell was carted off the field with 7:51 remaining in the third quarter. The third-year linebacker made one tackle in the loss.
Through 13 games played, Sewell has made 59 tackles and one forced fumble.
Sewell’s injury is disappointing for a Bears team that needed the depth at linebacker before the playoffs.
Even with depth being an issue at linebacker, rookie linebacker Ruben Hyppolite II has struggled to get on the field this season. He was made inactive for Sunday night’s game against the 49ers.
The Bears will need him to step up with Sewell being out. The 24-year-old has made just three tackles through six games.
The timing of Sewell’s injury means he could miss the beginning of next season as he rehabs from a serious issue.
