Bears linebacker T.J. Edwards carted off with left ankle injury vs. Packers

CHICAGO (AP) — Bears linebacker T.J. Edwards was carted off the field with a left ankle injury in the first half of Saturday night's playoff game against the Green Bay Packers.

Edwards went down early in the second quarter after his left foot got caught up with the leg of Packers receiver Christian Watson and bent awkwardly. He was fitted with an air cast before he was carted away.

The Bears said Edwards would not return.

The 29-year-old Edwards was limited to 10 games during the regular season because of injuries. He returned an interception 34 yards for a touchdown in Chicago's 42-38 loss at San Francisco on Dec. 28.
