Bears' Montez Sweat suspended two games for performance-enhancing substance violation
The Bears will be without starting defensive end Montez Sweat for the next two games.
The NFL has suspended Bears defensive end Montez Sweat for two games due to a performance-enhancing substance violation. The specific details of the violation were not disclosed by the NFL. Such suspensions generally serve as a penalty for a first-time offense involving stimulants, diuretics, or masking agents. Steroid use, on the other hand, typically results in a suspension of at least six games.
Sweat will miss the upcoming Sunday game against the Falcons and the following Thursday night game against the Patriots. He is expected to return during Week 8 when the Bears face the Seahawks on Monday Night Football. Standing at 30 years old, Sweat made his move to Chicago through a trade from Washington during the 2023 season.
He has started all five games this season and has played 69 percent of the Bears' defensive snaps. The 30-year-old has recorded two sacks so far.
