Bears get encouraging sign at concerning position

Chicago Bears linebacker T.J. Edwards received honorable mention in a recent league survey of top players at each position, with votes from scouts, coaches, and executives. Despite a hand injury that sidelined him for seven games last season, Edwards recorded 67 tackles, five pass deflections, and one interception. He was graded 24th among 88 eligible linebackers, suggesting the team's linebacker position may be stronger than anticipated.
