Jared Allen, Brandon Marshall, Jeremiah Ratliff, Matt Slauson & Roberto Garza were all dressed for practice in open portion. #Bears

 

Take your time, Garza

[Guest]

@AdamHoge: Jared Allen confirmed he had pneumonia and lost about 15 pounds. Has put two pounds back on. Thinks he’ll play Sunday vs #Panthers.

 

He was down to 239.

Matt Slauson: "In my mind, I'm playing (Sunday)." Still needs to be cleared by doctors.

[rawaction]

Bears signed some dude named Teddy Williams (no not the baseball player) to the active roster to play CB...

 

Never heard of him, though apparently he's one of the fastest players in the NFL. Has dabbled at WR too in practice for Arizona.

[Banedon]

Trestman just confirmed that Garza will for sure be the starter when healthy.

Ratliff thinks he's playing too.

 

@BearReport: Both Matt Slauson and Jeremiah Ratliff said they are hopeful/expect to play on Sunday against Carolina. #Bears

Carolina DE Frank Alexander, who was about to return from a four game suspension for substance abuse, has been suspended 10 more games for substance abuse. Down to Kony Ealy, Mario Addison and some dude named Horton at DE (Charles Johnson also out injured).

What was the deal with Trestman's weird laugh when talking about the Allen's pneumonia at his recent presser?

[Soul]

Would be VERY nice to start getting our actual football team back. Not holding my breath but I'm all for it

How is Carolina still favored in this game?

I think closer to kickoff it will be a pickem.

road game

lost by 21 at home

defense didnt force a punt all last game

 

I know the panthers have a ton of issues with injuries, suspensions and poor play too but I don't think its insane that they are favored. they did just destroy the 3-1 Lions a couple of weeks ago (albeit followed up with 2 crappy performances)

Looking at it I think should be more like a pick 'em. But after last week my confidence in the Bears -- both offensively and defensively -- is pretty shaken up. I'm sure Carolina fans are feeling the same right now after being the only team to get blown out by the Patriots a couple weeks back.

OMFG YOU CANNOT EDIT THAT POST THIS IS BS BRING IT BACK THAT WAS SO DUMB IT WAS HILARIOUS PLEASE BRING IT BACK

[Soul]

I "checked to be sure" and was even more stupid than stupid.

[jersey cubs fan]

Good job acknowledging it but I still think you should bring it back.

[Soul]

Don't underestimate my edit skills.

 

Memory though? Not as good.

[Banedon]

jersey is usually really good at catching quick edit/deletions. The fact that you removed it without him quoting it is impressive.

 

Dying to know what it said.

[jersey cubs fan]

BRANDON WANTS TO KNOW, SOUL! BRANDON WANTS TO KNOW!

[jersey cubs fan]

I'm just going to leave this here.

Apparently Bushrod hurt his knee in practice and could be out Sunday.
