First off we'll hit the injury news for the Chicago Bears.
Neither Jay Cutler, Lance Briggs, or Jeremiah Ratliff will play Sunday against the St. Louis Rams, although Ratliff has been practicing in a limited capacity. The unofficial buzz from Halas Hall, is that they are shooting for the Monday Night game against the Dallas Cowboys for his Bears debut.
Also limited at practice was safety Craig Steltz (concussion), and nickleback Isaiah Frey (broken hand). It's expected that Frey will try to go Sunday, even with a cast on his hand.
Defensive end Shea McClellin was full go at practice today, as was long snapper extraordinaire Patrick Mannelly and right tackle Jordan Mills.
Defensive tackle Stephen Paea missed practice again today.
Now on to some Tweets.
