Chicago Bears preseason sack leader exits game with knee injury
The Chicago Bears pummeled the reserves of the Buffalo Bills at Soldier Field on Sunday night, but they did so at the expense of a couple of key depth pieces on the defense.
Not long after the Bears lost cornerback Terell Smith to what appears to be a serious non-contract injury, Chicago had an announcement to make on their preseason sack leader.
Per Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune, the Bears ruled out defensive end Austin Booker due to a knee injury.
“Bears rule DE Austin Booker out for the remainder of the game. He has a knee injury,” Biggs posted on X.

Chicago Bears DE has an injury
It’s unclear how serious the knee injury is.
The second-year defensive end exited the game after recording two tackles and one sack. He had three sacks in the Bears’ 24-24 tie with the Miami Dolphins last week.
Booker played in 17 games for the Bears in 2024. The 2024 fifth-round pick recorded 21 tackles and 1.5 sacks.
Chicago was counting on Booker to have a larger role in Year 2 under new defensive coordinator Dennis Allen. The Bears need depth at pass rusher behind Montez Sweat and Dayo Oedyingbo.
