LAKE FOREST, Ill. (670 The Score) -- The Bears on Wednesday designated offensive lineman Alex Leatherwood for a return from the non-football illness list, opening a 21-day window for his activation.
Leatherwood was placed on the non-football illness list on Sept. 14 with an undisclosed illness. The Bears initially played him at guard when he joined the team at practice in September.
A first-round pick of the Raiders in 2021, Leatherwood was claimed by the Bears off waivers when 53-man rosters were formed in early September.
The Bears (2-3) host the Commanders (1-4) on Thursday evening at Soldier Field.
