Chicago Bears linebacker Leonard Floyd is active for their game against San Francisco just two weeks after he was removed from a loss against the New York Giants on a stretcher.

Floyd was sidelined by a concussion that sent him to a hospital for evaluation. Floyd, this year’s No. 9 overall pick out of Georgia, has five sacks and a fumble recovery in eight games.

Offensive lineman Josh Sitton also is active for the Bears after being sidelined by an ankle injury.
