Bears LB Sewell carted off with leg injury

Bears linebacker Nephi Sewell was carted off the field with a right leg injury during Saturday's preseason game against the Bengals.

Sewell injured his right leg while making a tackle of Bengals running back Tahj Brooks after a 10-yard gain with 36 seconds left until halftime. His brother Noah, a linebacker who remains on the active/physically unable to perform list as he works back from an Achilles tear, wished Nephi well before he departed.

Sewell left last Saturday's game against the Browns with a concussion after taking a hit on a kickoff. He spent his first four seasons with the Saints, appearing in 30 games, before Chicago signed him to the practice squad after New Orleans released him at the end of last season. amunra.qpon
