The #Bears placed edge Montez Sweat to NFI with a short-term illness. Should be back soon. Via @RapSheet on X

What happened: A short-term illness prompted the roster designation. Sweat is expected back soon.

Why it matters: The absence pauses his training-camp work as Chicago prepares for the 2026 season. A quick return would limit the disruption to the Bears' defensive preparations.

What to watch: Watch for Sweat's activation and return to practice.
