Adds another sack in win
Dexter recorded 1.0 sacks in the Bears' 31-3 win over the Browns on Sunday.
Analysis: Dexter now has 5.0 sacks this season while recording two or fewer tackles in all but four games. His reliance on sack production makes him a boom-or-bust IDP option from the interior defensive line.

Should be good to go
Dexter (hand) was a full participant in practice Thursday ahead of Friday's matchup with the Eagles.
Analysis: The defensive tackle upgraded from limited participation Wednesday to full participation Thursday. Dexter has played on at least 51 percent of the defensive snaps in all 11 of Chicago's games this year, recording 26 tackles (12 solo), including 4.0 sacks, and two fumble recoveries in total.

Nursing hand injury
Dexter (hand) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Analysis: The third-year pro from Florida was not listed on Chicago's injury report Tuesday but was limited Wednesday, suggesting this hand injury occurred during practice. Dexter has appeared in all 11 of the Bears' games this season, recording 26 total tackles, including 4.0 sacks, and two fumble recoveries. If he's sidelined for Friday's matchup against the Eagles, Andrew Billings will likely have an expanded role on Chicago's defensive line.

Records sack in loss
Dexter tallied seven tackles, including 1.0 sacks and two tackles for loss, in the Bears' 30-16 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.
Analysis: Dexter has 3.5 sacks on the season, but 2.5 of those have come in the last three games. His low-tackle production keeps him a sack-dependent IDP with moderate upside at defensive tackle.

Records 1.5 sacks in win
Dexter produced five tackles and 1.5 sacks in the Bears' 25-24 win over the Commanders on Monday.
Analysis: Dexter reached the sack column for the first time since Week 1 while also breaking a streak of three games with one tackle. He's a sack-dependent IDP at defensive tackle.

Breaks out in second season
Dexter tallied five stops in the Bears' 24-22 win over the Packers on Sunday.
Analysis: Dexter finished the season with 51 tackles (23 solo), including 5.0 sacks, one pass defensed and two fumble recoveries over 15 games. The 2023 second-round pick looked like one of the more promising young defensive tackles in the league. Dexter is signed through 2026, and he'll be an excellent IDP option in leagues that use an interior defensive-line position.

Good to go for Week 17
Dexter (knee) is not among Chicago's inactives for Thursday's matchup against Seattle.
Analysis: Dexter missed Chicago's past two games due to a knee issue, but he's set to return Thursday after logging a DNP/LP/LP practice progression this week. The second-year defensive tackle had started each of the Bears' first 13 games before getting hurt Week 14 against San Francisco. Dexter will likely retake his starting role against the Seahawks, which could lead to Chris Williams logging fewer defensive snaps.

Questionable versus Seahawks
Dexter (knee) is questionable for Thursday's matchup versus the Seahawks.
Analysis: Dexter missed the team's Week 16 loss versus the Lions with a knee injury and is now in danger of missing a second straight game. If he ends up being unable to play Thursday, Chris Williams will likely start at defensive tackle in his place.

Limited on Monday's estimation
Dexter (knee) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's estimated practice report.
Analysis: Dexter was injured in Week 14 against San Francisco and has missed Chicago's last two contests. He's trending in the right direction after logging a limited practice last Friday following a pair of DNPs. Dexter has been a bright spot for the Bears' defense this season, logging 44 tackles (23 solo), including 5.0 sacks, 16 total QB hits and a pair of fumble recoveries. Chris Williams, Byron Cowart and Zacch Pickens paced the Bears in defensive snaps at defensive tackle against the Lions this…read more

Out Week 16
Dexter (knee) is inactive for Sunday's game versus the Lions.
Analysis: Dexter was limited at Friday's practice following back-to-back DNPs, but that trend in the right direction will not be enough to get him the green light versus Detroit. In his absence, Chris Williams, Byron Cowart and Jonathan Ford are candidates to fill in at defensive tackle next to Zacch Pickens.

Limited participant Friday
Dexter (knee) was a limited participant in Friday's practice and is questionable for this weekend's matchup against Detroit.
Analysis: Dexter logged DNPs on Wednesday and Thursday, so this limited practice does show he's moving in the right direction. The starting defensive tackle's status, though, will likely now be decided on Sunday morning before the Bears kick off against the Lions.

Remains sidelined Thursday
Dexter (knee) is listed as a non-participant on Thursday's estimated injury report.
Analysis: Dexter has now missed back-to-back walkthrough practices since his knee injury kept him sidelined for Chicago's loss to the Vikings in Week 16. Friday's practice will represent his final chance to upgrade his activity level prior to Sunday's divisional matchup against Detroit.

Won't play Week 15
Dexter (knee) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against Minnesota.
Analysis: Dexter likely hurt his knee against San Francisco in Week 14, as he logged only 21 percent of Chicago's defensive snaps in that loss. The defensive lineman didn't practice at all this week and consequently will miss his first game of the campaign. Chris Williams may be asked to play more defensive snaps against the Vikings on Sunday in Dexter's stead.

Listed as non-participant
Dexter (knee) was a non-participant at Thursday's walkthrough practice.
Analysis: Dexter played a season-low 21 percent of defensive snaps during Chicago's loss to the 49ers in Week 14, seemingly due to the knee injury he's now managing. If the second-year pro can't get healthy in time for Monday's divisional road matchup against the Vikings, Byron Cowart and Chris Williams will stand to see increased opportunities at defensive tackle.

First sack since Week 5
Dexter recorded seven tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, and also recovered a fumble in the Bears' 23-20 loss to the Lions on Thursday.
Analysis: Dexter averaged 2.5 tackles through Chicago's first six games, but the defensive tackle has notched at least five stops in four of the last six games. However, the second-year player has just 1.0 sack in the last seven contests after starting the season with 4.0 sacks through Week 5. Dexter has been an inconsistent IDP, but in leagues that start defensive tackles, he is a weekly upside play.

Remains hot
Dexter posted a sack and three tackles in the Bears' 36-10 win over the Panthers on Sunday.
Analysis: Dexter has 4.0 sacks in five games while averaging three tackles. His ability to sack the quarterback has given him excellent upside potential at the defensive tackle position.

Nabs another sack
Dexter tallied a sack and three tackles in the Bears' 24-18 win over the Rams on Sunday.
Analysis: Not only has Dexter recorded at least three sacks in all but one game this season, but the defensive tackle now has three sacks on the season. As an interior lineman, Dexter has been a very productive IDP.

Another sack in defeat
Dexter recorded a sack as his only tackle in the Bears' 19-13 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
Analysis: The defensive tackle now has a sack in each of Chicago's two games and five total stops in that span. As an interior lineman, the tackle numbers may not be high on a weekly basis, so Dexter's ability to rush the passer could be his best path to IDP success.

Collects sack in opener
Dexter recorded four tackles and a sack in the Bears' 24-17 win over the Titans on Sunday.
Analysis: After posting 20 tackles and two sacks as a rookie last year, Dexter had an excellent start to the 2024 season. With the Bears potentially having an improved defense this year, Dexter could be in line to build on his solid Week 1. In IDP leagues that use the defensive tackle position, Dexter could be worth a speculative waiver add.

Concludes first season in Chicago
Dexter finished the season playing 17 games, leading to 22 tackles and 2.5 sacks on 410 snaps.
Analysis: Dexter was a defensive tackle for the Bears, playing between 42 and 50 percent of the snaps in 11 games. With one or fewer tackles in 13 games, he had very low production as an IDP. With two years remaining on his rookie contract, Dexter will likely see a similar role, since he plays a position that typically results in players frequently rotating in and out.

Best game of rookie season
Dexter recorded five tackles and 1.5 sacks in the Bears' 37-17 win over the Falcons on Sunday.
Analysis: This was the first game since Week 3 that Dexter posted more than two tackles in a game. In addition, after not entering the sack column until Week 14, the rookie has recorded at least half a sack in three of his last four games. He'll likely remain a low-floor IDP option in Week 18 against the Packers, but he could boost his value if he can add another sack.
