Bears linebacker Noah Sewell will not play another down tonight.

Sewell took friendly fire, with a nasty-looking hit from a teammate, leaving him with a concussion.

Sewell was trying to help bring down Commanders running back Jacory Croskey-Merritt, along with teammates Tremaine Edmunds and T.J. Edwards. Practice squad defensive lineman Jonathan Ford came flying up and into the head and neck area of Sewell.

Sewell remained on the ground before finally walking off under his own power with 5:13 remaining in the first half.

He had two tackles before leaving.

Commanders defensive lineman Dorance Armstrong is questionable to return after injuring his hamstring in the third quarter.

The Bears lead 13-10 after Matt Gay's 53-yard field goal made it a three-point game with 11:59 remaining in the third quarter.

The Commanders were their own worst enemy in the first half.

They had two turnovers and a missed field goal on three possessions, scoring a touchdown on the other.

The Bears lead 13-7 at halftime.

Jaquan Brisker had the first interception of Jayden Daniels this season, and Montez Sweat knocked the ball out of Jacory Croskey-Merritt's hands, with Kyler Gordon recovering the fumble. The Bears had drives of 36 and 35 yards for a field goal and a touchdown after the turnovers.

The Commanders had a chance to cut the Bears' lead to three before the half, but with 1:14 remaining, Matt Gay's 50-yard field goal doinked off the left upright.

The Bears have outgained the Commanders 163 to 120.
