Bears Activate Linebacker Amen Ogbongbemiga from Injured Reserve After Knee Injury

The Chicago Bears officially activated linebacker Amen Ogbongbemiga from injured reserve on Thursday. Ogbongbemiga, a five-year veteran, had been sidelined since August 26 with a knee injury and has yet to see regular season action this year. He was a full participant in both practices this week, signaling his readiness to return. Last season, Ogbongbemiga appeared in all 17 games for the Bears and led the team with a career-high 11 special teams tackles. In a corresponding roster move, the Bears released linebacker Carl Jones Jr.
