Bears Linebacker T.J. Edwards Undergoes Hand Surgery, Out for Giants Game

Chicago Bears linebacker T.J. Edwards underwent hand surgery this week and has been ruled out for the team's Week 10 matchup against the New York Giants. Edwards, who broke his hand in the Week 9 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, also continues to deal with a hamstring injury that has caused him to miss three games this season. Despite his injuries and missed time, he ranks sixth on the team with 31 total tackles (12 solo, 19 assisted) over five games. Head coach Ben Johnson stated that Edwards will wear a cast upon his return and is not expected to be placed on injured reserve, with hopes for an earlier comeback than the typical four-game absence.
