Bears coach Lovie Smith said wide receiver/kick returner Devin Hester, bothered by a sore quad, is probable for Monday night's game against the Lions at Soldier Field.
With the Redskins and Bills being fined $20,000 each this week for violating the league's rules on injury reports, Smith almost literally read from the script after practice Saturday. ''We've got to make sure we get this injury list right,'' he said. ''Alshon Jeffery as you know is out. Sherrick McManis is getting better, but we're going to list him as questionable right now.
''Probable guys will be Blake Costanzo and Devin Hester. They were both able to do some things today, quite a bit today. So they'll be ready to go. We're in pretty good shape. We knew Alshon Jeffery would be out. Hopefully we'll have everybody else ready to go.''
The Bears have not played since beating the Jaguars 41-3 in Jacksonville on Oct. 7. ''We've been practicing forever,'' Smith said. ''It's about game time. There's nothing else for me to say.''

Hester To Be More Involved?

Get ready for the ‘Hester Package’ Juan…With Alshon Jeffery out for a few more weeks, we could see more Hester than we originally thought. The Bears seem to have more confidence then I do in the KR/WR. I think Hester could be used in some gadget plays and sparingly throughout the game, but his value is tied to punt and kick returns. Hester is the best returner in the...

Detroit Lions (2-3) at Chicago Bears (4-1)
This week, I put the Bears 1st in my Power Rankings. With the exception of the Thursday Night loss to Green Bay, the Bears have looked great this season, winning every game by 16 or more and only surrendering 7 sacks in 4 games. While you can’t completely ignore what happened on Thursday Night Football, it’s unreasonable to put too much...

Bears, Lions downplay any ill will
Hard feelings? Bad blood?
The Chicago Bears and Detroit Lions for the most part did their best to downplay the idea leading into their game on Monday night.
It wasn't exactly an easy sell.
The way emotions boiled over the last time they met at Soldier Field, it's safe to wonder if sparks might fly this time, too.
If they do, players and coaches insisted it'll be because...
