The Bears activated Te'o from the practice squad COVID-19 list Saturday, per the NFL's official transaction page.

EDGE Analysis

The Notre Dame product was placed on the list Dec. 7 by the Bears, but it's unclear if he tested positive for the virus or he was deemed a high-risk close contact individual. Te'o has been with the Bears' practice squad since Oct. 20, but he has yet to make an appearance this season.

Te'o has been placed on Chicago's practice squad COVID-19 list, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Te'o was added to the Bears' practice squad Oct. 20, but the 29-year-old remains without an appearance this season. His last campaign starting 10-plus games came in 2017 during his debut season in New Orleans, however, he also suited up for a combined eight appearances between 2018 and 2019. For his career, the Notre Dame product has compiled 307 tackles, two interceptions and 1.5 sacks over 62 NFL games.

Te'o is set to start in Week 16 against the Titans, John Hendrix of Sports Illustrated reports.

Te'o signed a contract with the Saints on Tuesday, Mike Triplett of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old hasn't seen game action since Week 8 with the Saints last season, but he'll rejoin the team for the 2019 stretch run. Te'o provides some depth at linebacker after Kiko Alonso (thigh) suffered an injury during last Thursday's win over the Falcons.

Te'o (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

EDGE Analysis

It will be a second straight DNP for Te'o, who's logged just 12 tackles (eight solo) and one pass defensed this season. The Saints' defensive scheme seems to be largely responsible for Te'o's absence from the gameday roster the last two contests, as New Orleans has been deploying two-linebacker alignments on a frequent basis.

Te'o (coach's decision) will not play in Sunday's game against the Rams, Josh Katzenstein of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Saints typically use a two-linebacker set so Te'o's absence is likely the result of a personnel decision. Look for Alex Anzalone to be the third linebacker available alongside Vince Biegel in the event of emergency. More information on Te'o's healthy scratch could be available following the game.

Te'o (knee) is not listed on the Saints' injury report Wednesday, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

Te'o (knee) is listed as inactive for Monday night's game against the Redskins, Luke Johnson of The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports.

EDGE Analysis

Te'o (knee) is questionable for Monday's game against the Redskins, Josh Katzenstein of NOLA.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Te'o has missed the past two weeks with a knee injury. If he is unable to go Monday, middle linebacker duties will likely be handled by some combination Alex Anzalone, Vince Biegel and Craig Robertson.

Te'o (knee) is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants, Joel A. Erickson of The New Orleans Advocate reports.

EDGE Analysis

Te'o will miss his second consecutive regular-season game while recovering from a knee injury. The veteran linebacker's workload will be split between Alex Anzalone and Vince Biegel, who stand to split snaps at the middle linebacker position.
