Chicago Bears: Montez Sweat leaves with injury after Ben Johnson’s promised physical practice
The Chicago Bears are nearing the point of training camp where they will play their first pre-season game. In an effort to prepare for this, and the regular season, head coach Ben Johnson notched up the intensity of today’s practice. Prior to training camp on Thursday, he told the media that practice would be much more physical than in previous days.
There is, of course, a reason why coaches wait to start ramping up the physicality of practice. Players are still getting into game shape and cannot take on the full violence of a typical practice right away.
Some Bears players, unfortunately, had to leave practice early due to injury.
Chicago Bears defensive end Montez Sweat left practice with an injury
Earlier on Thursday, it was reported that Braxton Jones had to leave practice early with injury. As fans will recall, injuries limited him to just six games in 2025. Chicago expects him to compete to be their starting left tackle this upcoming season.
Additionally, it has been reported that defensive end Montez Sweat had to leave practice with injury as well:
Defensive end Montez Sweat and defensive back Dallis Flowers have left practice with Bears trainers.
Flowers needed help off the field. He was engaged in a block by WR Kyron Hudson and went down holding his right leg.

Fortunately, it does not sound like Sweat’s injury today will be anything to worry about. He is coming off of a season that saw him record 10.0 sacks, the second-highest single-season total of his career.
Indeed, Sweat is Chicago’s only real proven pass rush threat on the defensive line. As a whole, the Bears’ pass rush lacked consistency in 2026, and the team did little to address the issue this off-season.
Hopefully Sweat can stay healthy all year long, or it will be a very difficult year for the rest of the defensive line.
