The Bears will get starting linebackers T.J. Edwards and Noah Sewell back Sunday.
“Going up to Lambeau, no better way to do it,” Edwards said.
Edwards is from Lake Villa but played football at Wisconsin. His wife is from Little Chute, Wis., about a half-hour southwest of Green Bay, and comes from a family of Packers fans.
“I’m slowly converting them, for sure …” Edwards said. “They wear a blue jacket, but you’ve got to check the turtlenecks. Sometimes they’ve got green underneath.”
Edwards has been nagged by a balky hamstring all year. He hasn’t played since Nov. 2 due to both the hamstring and a broken hand. He’ll wear a small pad on his hand.
Sewell hurt his elbow three games ago against the Giants.
“I think it’s exciting — we’ve got all the bullets ready to go,” Edwards said.
Notes
• As expected, Bears cornerback Tyrique Stevenson (hip) and linebacker Ruben Hyppolite II (shoulder) were ruled out.
• The Packers ruled out defensive linemen Lukas Van Ness (foot), Collin Oliver (hamstring). and Devonte Wyatt (ankle); receiver Savion Williams (foot); and running back MarShawn Lloyd (calf).
