2025 Fantasy Outlook
The Bears used a fourth-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft on Hyppolite, a physical linebacker from Maryland who recorded over 60 tackles in three of five collegiate seasons. He impressed with his athletic testing during his pro day and should contribute immediately on special teams. While he needs to improve his anchor strength against pro linemen, he enters his rookie campaign with enough upside to earn subpackage snaps. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year, $5.08 million contract with the Bears in May of 2025.
Leaves game with shoulder injury
Hyppolite (shoulder) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Pittsburgh, Sean Hammond of the Chicago Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Hyppolite appeared to injure his shoulder late in the first quarter, and he was taken back to the locker room to be evaluated by medical staff. He was thrust into a starting role at outside linebacker after Tremaine Edmunds (groin) was placed on injured reserve Saturday. Amen Ogbongbemiga should see more snaps on defense for as long as Hyppolite is sidelined.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Most improved in spring practices
Bears head coach Ben Johnson singled out Hyppolite as the player that showed the most improvement in spring practices, per Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com.
ANALYSIS
Hyppolite got significant playing time with the starters in OTAs and minicamp due to the absence of T.J. Edwards, who has been sidelined by a soft-tissue injury. Hyppolite has intriguing physical tools with 4.39 speed, and the rookie fourth-round pick out of Maryland could earn himself a prominent role out of the gate if he continues to impress the coaching staff.
