GLENDALE, Ariz. — The Bears plan to have embattled cornerback Tyrique Stevenson active against the Cardinals on Sunday, but not as a starter, a sourced said. Stevenson will begin the game on the bench as discipline for checking out mentally on a play that cost the Bears a win against the Commanders last week.
Coach Matt Eberflus dodged questions all week about whether Stevenson would face discipline, especially a reduction in playing time. The Bears have some margin to do that given how well backup cornerbacks Terell Smith, Josh Blackwell and Jaylon Jones have played.
