What happened: Montez Sweat landed on the non-football illness list Tuesday with a short-term illness. He was cleared Wednesday and is good to go.

Why it matters: Chicago regains a key edge rusher as training camp gets underway. The quick clearance prevents the illness from becoming an extended camp absence.

By the numbers: Sweat spent one day on NFI. He ranked among Chicago's top three in sacks last season.

What to watch: His participation level in the Bears' next practice will show how quickly he resumes a full workload.
