Bum thumb to sideline Hillenmeyer By Vaughn McClure | Tribune reporter 9:52 PM CDT, October 28, 2008 A source close to Hunter Hillenmeyer said there is "no chance" the linebacker will play against Detroit on Sunday after the linebacker underwent surgery on his right thumb last week. Hillenmeyer is expected to be out a few weeks, according to the source. Nick Roach is expected to replace Hillenmeyer as the starter at strong-side linebacker. Hillenmeyer did not practice Monday and declined to discuss his injury status. Coach Lovie Smith did not publicly rule out any player for Sunday's game. Hillenmeyer started the first seven games, recording 21 tack…

come on and quit the whining... ATL lost today too, and the Lions are against NO today. If Lions lose we're all still tied. Rough game, yes. Forte down, yes, probably out for a while. With the way Barber has contributed compared to Forte as of late, it seemed to be a sustainable loss so far. And this Hanie complaining gets a little old. The guy is rushed just like Cutler was at the beginning of the year before the OL learned to adapt to him. Took 4 or so games. Missed some open receivers yes, but when it counted he came through and the WR's (Knox, Williams) fell out or the RB (Barber, but just lack of understanding I guess) came up empty. Give the guy…

According to my TTNL guys, Burden has signed with a fully guaranteed deal.

What an idiot.

http://www.prosportsdaily.com/articles/pla...ars-728416.html I for one am good with someone like Burress coming to Chicago. I think it evident in his last attempt at playing in NY wasn't as much to blame on him as much the circus that is known as the NY Jets. Burress would like to give it another go and probably could be had for cheap. And if it doesn't work out, and he signed low, the Bears could dump him after Jeffery is back. http://www.prosportsdaily.com/articles/bea...nse-728370.html And the idea of the team doing no-huddle sounds like a splendid idea. With as much as Jay is effective on the run, it would only highlight his skill set. That and sin…

The Bears tight ends for Sunday could be: Ben Braunecker (10 career catches) J.P. Holtz (2 career catches) Bradley Sowell (1 career catch - a TD vs. the Rams - as an O-lineman) And maybe Jesper Horsted (0 NFL games)? Peace

That injury turned out to be serious enough that it’s still affecting him, almost five months later. Burton is not participating in Organized Team Activities, and Bears head coach Matt Nagy said today that it’s because he…

Burton to IR, finally making some moves, a little late, but I guess late is better than never:

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown...-140847782.html This might have affected his play, especially trying to punch through the line on those short yardage plays. I just wonder if this was a known condition and they let him play hurt?

Bush won't play by Jimmy Smith, The Times-Picayune Staff writer Friday December 28, 2007, 1:37 PM Saints tailback Reggie Bush missed practice for the third straight day on Friday and has been ruled out of Sunday's regular-season finale at Chicago, Coach Sean Payton said. Early reports following diagnosis of Bush's torn left posterior cruciate ligament had his missing the rest of the regular season four weeks ago, though the Saints initially dismissed those stories as premature. Tailback Aaron Stecker was excused from practice to attend funeral services for his father-in-law in Wisconsin. Stecker missed Wedneday and Thursday practices with…

Apparently a recently chronic problem and now out of practice. Something to take note of. "Now to you Jason..." http://espn.go.com/blog/chicago/bears/post...-a-back-problem

Per NO site.... Agreed in principle to 2year deal

This never a good thing when your LT comes up limping.

I am watching the Saints v Giants 2012. Bushrod is beast in run and pass blocking. On runs he has great foot speed and in pass blocking the only time Pierre Paul or Umenyora have gotten any pressure is Umenyora bull rushed him and had the advantage but Bushrod fought back and Brees was not touched. Webb would have been on his arse and Cutler being carried off. Only watched to halftime so far but left tackle will not be a concern next year on this performance. I remember last time we played giants Webb was killed. As a foot note Bennett was run blocking well and caught a TD and ran a good route.

Looks like they found Callahan's replacement. Hopefully comes in cheap. Update: not cheap, I do not like this signing. Skrine has been one of the worst CBs and most penalized CBs in the league. I don't know what Pace is thinking here. Over paid IMO. 3/$16.5 with $8.5 guaranteed seems steep for a perennial under performer. We will see what they get out of him but it seems like another Cooper signing.
