15 Chicago Bears were listed on the team’s injury report this week. Three have been ruled out, two are doubtful, three are questionable and seven are probable. LB Brian Urlacher (hamstring), CB Tim Jennings (shoulder) and WR Earl Bennett (concussion) have all been ruled out of Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers. Urlacher was [...]
Heading into the 2012 season, Bears defensive end Corey Wootton was known for one thing; getting the sack that essentially ended Brett Favre’s career. This season though, Wootton has shown Bears fans he is more than just an answer to a trivia question. In five games this season, he has 3.5 sacks as well as [...]
The Denver Broncos beat the Chicago Bears 31-3 in preseason game number one. The Bears decided to rest starters Jay Cutler, Matt Forte and Julius Peppers due to the field conditions. Brian Urlacher wasn’t at the game due to personal reasons. Jason Campbell got the start, while Michael Bush got the call at running back. Campbell completed four of five pass attempts for 13 [...]
The Chicago Bears host the new look Denver Broncos in their first preseason game number tonight at Soldier Field. QB Peyton Manning is under center for the Broncos, while it remains to be seen if the newest dad in town Jay Cutler will be in uniform tonight. Either way this game won’t be about those players. [...]
Thursday night at Soldier Field, the Bears will be taking the field against Peyton Manning and the Denver Broncos. Although most starters on both sides of the ball will be seeing limited playing time, it gives the backups an opportunity to move up the depth chart and offers rookies and others the opportunity to stick [...]
Everyday it seems like a new story is coming out of training camp regarding the Bears first round pick, Shea McClellin. We have heard plenty of the negatives about McClellin, but the last few practices have been proof that patience will be key with the rookie. Coming in to the draft this offseason, almost every [...]
Special contribution from Matt Eurich. After the pads went on Saturday night in Bourbonnais, the real football started. No longer are the players just walking through practice, but are expected to get to participate at near full strength in order to improve themselves and the team. Here are my observations from Tuesday afternoon’s practice: -The [...]
The Bears selected tight end Evan Rodriguez in the fourth-round out of Temple. He has shown his athleticism already by lining up at WR, TE, FB and H-back so far in training camp. He could earn playing time in some packages dialed up by Mike Tice this season. I was pretty confident out there, Rodriguez [...]
WR Brandon Marshall reportedly flashed his skills all night long in front of 10,000 Bears fans in Bourbonnais. He was helped off the field after landing “awkwardly” on the ground. But he quickly returned to the field and continued to make plays. He’s going against a good football player most of the night in Charles [...]
The Bears‘ defensive line was pretty solid at times last season. They didn’t get consistent pressure, but they were one of the better units in the NFL. Defensive end Julius Peppers racked up 11 sacks, while defensive tackle Henry Melton added seven sacks in his first season as a starter. Defensive end Israel Idonije contributed five sacks. Defensive tackle Amobi Okoye recorded [...]
