Although Desmond Clark appeared doubtful early in the week because of a fractured rib suffered in the season opener against the Packers, the veteran tight end is now expected back on Sunday after going through his second straight full practice on Friday. Linebacker Pisa Tinoisamoa is out with a sprained knee, and linebacker Hunter Hillenmeyer is also expected to miss the Lions game with a rib injury suffered last week. Everyone else is expected to be available Sunday, including linebacker Lance Briggs, who went through a full practice Friday but left Halas Hall wearing a walking boot on his injured left foot as a precautionary measure. With Hillenmeyer out, Nick Roach would start at middle linebacker, and Jamar Williams would get his second NFL start at strong-side linebacker.
