Chicago Bears linebacker T.J. Edwards was removed from the game Saturday night after suffering a non-contact leg injury, and subsequent X-rays revealed a broken fibula. Edwards will undergo surgery on his leg.
The severity of the injury prompted coach Ben Johnson to caution that the Bears would have the greatest comeback in their history if they could overcome the setback, however the team went on to win the game 17-14 against their long-standing rival Green Bay Packers.
Edwards was unable to finish the second quarter after a sudden collapse. He had been one of the steady contributors for the Bears this season when healthy but suffered from several injuries in the past year.
The team's victory marked a surprise, with many expecting an easy win by the Packers given their experience and superior talent. However, quarterback Caleb Williams led his team to success, securing key drives that ultimately secured the win.
