Timu re-signed with the Bears on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Timu failed to receive a qualifying offer from the Bears last week, making him an unrestricted free agent. However, the two sides have now reached an agreement, meaning the undrafted linebacker will remain in Chicago, where he has spent his first three seasons. Last year, Timu recorded 16 tackles (12 solo) and one pass defensed in 11 games -- playing mostly in a special teams role.

Timu didn't receive a qualifying offer or minimum tender from the Bears and has become an unrestricted free agent, per the league's official transaction log.

EDGE Analysis

It looks like Timu's time in Chicago is over after the undrafted Washington product spent the past three seasons with the Bears, accruing 59 tackles and two pass breakups in 29 games. Still only 25 years old, Timu should be able to find a job elsewhere this offseason as a reserve linebacker capable of providing utility on special teams.

Timu (ankle, knee) was a full participant at the Bears' practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Timu has missed three consecutive games but the team's bye week appears to have provided the necessary recovery time. The 25-year-old will likely serve as a reserve linebacker and special teams player if he can avoid a setback this week.

Timu (ankle/knee) is inactive for Sunday's tilt against New Orleans.

EDGE Analysis

Timu will be missing his third consecutive game, but he'll benefit from a bye week next week as he looks to avoid missing a fourth straight game. Look for Christian Jones to see an uptick in snaps once again with Timu out.

Timu (ankle/knee) is doubtful for Sunday's game against the Saints, Jeff Dickerson of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Timu is set to miss his third consecutive game, but he'll benefit from the Week 9 bye and hopefully will be ready to take on Green Bay in Week 10. In his absence, expect Christian Jones to take over a majority of Timu's reserve snaps.

Timu (ankle, knee) is inactive for Sunday's Week 7 game against Carolina.

EDGE Analysis

Timu was considered doubtful entering Sunday and it's unsurprising that he's been ruled out. Christian Jones will be in line for some extra snaps in Timu's absence.

Timu (ankle/knee) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

EDGE Analysis

Timu is in danger of missing his second consecutive week, and with Nick Kwiatkoski (pectoral) still questionable, this would've been a good chance to log extra defensive snaps. Expect Christian Jones to pick up the slack, though, and Timu will have to shift his focus to a Week 8 matchup against the Saints.

Timu (ankle) is listed as out for Sunday's game against the Ravens.

EDGE Analysis

Timu wasn't expected to play anyways due to the high-ankle sprain he suffered Monday against the Vikings. Danny Trevathan will be returning from his suspension Sunday, and he'll return to his starter role.

Timu will miss 2-to-4 weeks with a high-ankle sprain he suffered Monday against the Vikings, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Timu has only played in three games this season, and Monday was the first time he logged more than 20 defensive snaps, racking up 42. He has posted 10 tackles (six solo) and one pass breakup so far. While he's out, expect Christian Jones and Jonathan Anderson to see an increase of snaps on defense.

Timu sustained a knee injury against the Vikings on Monday and will not return, Patrick Finley of the Chicago Sun-Times reports.

EDGE Analysis

Timu was seeing an increased role in the absence of Danny Trevathan (suspension) on Monday night prior to exiting with the injury. The 25-year-old's status will likely be updated post-game or Tuesday as he is further evaluated.
