Officially the Bears list Bushrod's injury as knee/ankle.

If Bushrod can't go on Sunday the Bears could shift Michael Ola to left tackle. That is of course if starting left guard Matt Slauson is cleared from his high ankle sprain. Eben Britton would be an option at either guard or left tackle as well.

Both Slauson and starting center Roberto Garza (ankle) were limited in practice today. Depending on who is healthy, it's also possible that Brian de la Puente sees some time at left guard if Ola shifts to tackle.

It's a fluid situation from center to left tackle right now for Chicago's offensive line.

In other injury news, Marc Trestman has ruled Shea McClellin out for Sunday's game. Also, Jeremiah Ratliff still has not passed the concussion protocol.

Special teamer and safety Ahmad Dixon missed practice with a hamstring injury.
