Al Afalava, Zack Bowman practice for the Chicago Bears while Desmond Clark and Kevin Payne sit out

LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- The Chicago Bears were not required to release any injury information, but it appeared that Desmond Clark, Kevin Payne and Olin Kreutz all skipped practice on Monday.Clark had to leave Thursday's game against the San Francisco 49ers after re-aggravating a strained disc in his neck. Payne is still recovering from a back condition that forced the safety to miss the Niners game, while Kreutz was likely just given a day off Monday.Despite Payne's absence, the health of the Bears secondary seems to be improving, as both Al Afalava (shoulder) and Zack Bowman (abdomen) were back on the field.Bowman, who also made an early exit in San Francisco, was bothered by a lingering stomach issue that required extra medical attention Thursday night. However, Bowman now appears to be okay, and we should know more about Afalava's status when the team gets back to work on Wednesday.Garrett Wolfe also missed practice.Left tackle Orlando Pace was back on the practice field...
