## Summary

Chicago Bears defensive end Montez Sweat is set to return after serving a two-game suspension for violating the NFL’s performance-enhancing drug policy. He said the positive test surprised him, apologised to his teammates and fans, and said he had never intended to cheat; the case matters because he expects it to remain part of his career.

Sweat did not say what caused the test result. The Bears won both games in his absence, beating Atlanta and New England, and he praised the team’s next-man-up approach. In five games this season he has two sacks, and he is due back against Seattle on Monday night; across 47 games with Chicago, he has recorded 23.5 sacks.
