Could veteran free agent running back Warrick Dunn be on his way to the Windy City?
Would he be a good fit with the Bears? Well lets take a look at what the Bears have right now behind Matt Forte.
The Bears recently lost backup running back Kevin Jones for the
season with an ankle injury in their final preseason game against the
Cleveland Browns.
The Bears currently have two year pro Garrett Wolfe, who is 5?7? and
has 154 career rushing yards behind Matt Forte on the depth chart.

151 times for 510 yards and three touchdowns and he also had 51
receptions for 420 yards.
Are those two enough? I don't know, but I'm a big fan of "The Other"

Chicago Bears Season Preview – 2nd Quarter
When the schedule first came out, I took some grief from some of my die-hard readers, saying that I flaked out on my 2009 season prediction. Maybe I had overdosed on Jay CutlerKool Aide with my tongue in cheek 16-0 prediction for the season. I promised that I would take a real look at the schedule and offer real prognosis for the season.

Hiding behind humor
Although Charles Tillman failed to divulge any new information about his status for this weekend, his post-practice meeting with the media was classic.

Halas Hall Chat: DE Alex Brown

The Bears kick off the 2009 Campaign against the Green Bay Packers under the Sunday night lights.
Last year, the Packers struggled to close games, and while it’s unfair to put the blame solely on quarterback Aaron Rodgers, his play certainly didn’t help the situation.
