2023 Fantasy Outlook
The Bears selected Sewell in the fifth round of the 2023 draft to help provide depth to a linebacking group that needed an overhaul. Sewell projects to be more of a run stopper than a pass defender. However, after Chicago added T.J. Edwards and Tremaine Edmunds to go with holdover Jack Sanborn, Sewell will likely play rotational snaps to provide depth. Should the team deal with injuries at linebacker, Sewell may be best suited to play on the interior.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Sitting out Week 12
Sewell will sit out Sunday's game against the Steelers due to an elbow injury, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Sewell recorded a team-high 10 tackles in the Week 11 win over the Vikings, but he sustained the elbow injury in the process. The third-year pro's absence against Pittsburgh projects as impactful not only because of Sewell's 55 total tackles through nine games, but due to the fact he'll be one of three starting linebackers unavailable for Chicago.
