CHICAGO (AP) --- The NFC North-leading Chicago Bears activated linebacker
Tremaine Edmunds from injured reserve prior to their showdown against the Green
Bay Packers on Saturday night.
Edmunds had missed the previous four games due to a groin injury. He had four
interceptions and was third on the team behind league leader Kevin Byard and
Nahshon Wright.
For the Packers, star running back Josh Jacobs and receiver Christian Watson
were available after being listed as questionable. Right tackle Zach Tom and
safety Evan Williams were out.
Jacobs, a three-time Pro Bowler, reinjured his knee early in last week's loss
at Denver, though he continued to play and finished with a rushing and
receiving touchdown. Watson (chest/shoulder), Tom (back/knee) and Williams
(knee) exited that game.
The Bears (10-4) held a narrow lead over Green Bay (9-4-1) in the division.
They were looking to get payback for a loss at Lambeau Field two weeks ago that
briefly knocked them out of first place.
Chicago rebounded with an easy win over Cleveland and regained the division
lead with the Packers losing at Denver. Green Bay also lost star pass rusher
Micah Parsons to a season-ending knee injury in that game.
