Frequently Asked Questions
How many sacks does Dayo Odeyingbo have through his first 4 games in 2026?
Odeyingbo has collected 3 sacks in his first 4 games of the 2026 season. That's a massive bounce-back after tearing his Achilles midway through the previous season and finishing with just 1.5 sacks.
What injury ended Dayo Odeyingbo's 2025 season early?
Odeyingbo tore his Achilles midway through the 2025 season, which ended his year prematurely. He had managed only 1.5 sacks before going down with the injury.
How is Grady Jarrett performing for the Chicago Bears defense?
Jarrett has quietly put together a solid season with 8 interior pressures and 3 run stops for no gain or loss. He's also been a key communicator on the defensive line, helping teammates get lined up and recognize what's coming.
How are the Bears managing Grady Jarrett's snaps at 33 years old?
The Bears appear to be alternating between heavy and lighter workloads for Jarrett each week to protect his body. All 8 of his pressures have come in games where he played the full slate of snaps, each following an extensive rest period the week before.
Why was Dayo Odeyingbo playing mostly outside linebacker instead of his natural position early last season?
Austin Booker suffered a knee injury during the preseason, which forced Dennis Allen to play Odeyingbo primarily outside. That alignment worked okay against the run but was less effective on passing downs.
