The Bears are adding back one veteran and losing another.
Getty Germain Ifedi #74 of the Chicago Bears warms up prior to the game against the Los Angeles Rams at SoFi Stadium on October 26,2020 in Inglewood, California. Finally, a bit of good news for the Chicago Bears. The Bears activated veteran offensive lineman Germain Ifedi from injured reserve on December 20 and could have him immediately return to his role as their starting right tackle for Monday Night Football against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 15. Ifedi played every snap at right tackle during the Bears’ first four games of the season, but the 27-year-old suffered a knee injury in Week 5’s win over the Las Vegas Raiders that led to him being placed on IR on October 13. He also spent a little more than a week on the reserve/COVID-19 list at the beginning of November. While the Bears have been comfortable with fifth-round rookie Larry Borom at right tackle since losing Ifedi, Borom is still on the COVID-19 list along with 13 other Bears players and will not be available to play against the Vikings in prime time.
