Bears DE Montez Sweat suspended 2 days for drug violation

The NFL has suspended Chicago Bears defensive end Montez Sweat for two games due to a performance-enhancing drug policy violation. Sweat, the team's highest-paid player with a $25.08 million salary cap hit, is eligible to return on Oct. 23. This suspension strains a thin defensive end position, especially with Dayo Odeyingbo suffering a quad injury. Sweat recorded two sacks and seven tackles this season after posting ten sacks during his previous campaign under coach Ben Johnson.
