Bears’ Defensive-Line Depth Thins as Street Goes on IR; Benedet Status Unclear

Kentavius Street is officially on injured reserve with a knee issue and will miss at least four games; Stephen Carlson joined the active roster and Earnest Brown IV the practice squad. Grady Jarrett’s previously reported groin issue could further strain defensive-line depth. Theo Benedet’s possible shoulder separation remains unconfirmed, and the Seattle sack breakdown provides play-level context rather than evidence of a broader protection problem.
