Montez Sweat Returns to Bears After PED Suspension and Apologizes
9 sourcesUpdated Oct 27, 20261 min read
Chicago Bears defensive end Montez Sweat apologized after returning to practice from a two-game suspension for violating the NFL’s performance-enhancing substances policy. He said he took a banned substance accidentally but declined to explain how, accepted full responsibility, and said the Bears’ nutrition and training staff were not at fault. Sweat described being separated from his teammates as devastating. He is set to return against Seattle after Chicago won both games in his absence, and the suspension carries significant financial and contract consequences.

No right coverage yet — a bubble gap.
Apology to teammates is the right move. Now the focus has to stay on football and not distractions all season.
Two-game suspension feels light for PEDs even if accidental. He should prove it was a one-time mistake with clean tests.
Glad Sweat is back and taking responsibility instead of blaming others. The Bears need his pass rush right away.
