Lovie Smith Vows Urlacher Will Play, But Tillman's Status In Doubt
By Adam Hoge-
HALAS HALL (CBS) Bears head coach Lovie Smith confirmed that linebacker Brian Urlacher will start Thursday night at Green Bay, but cornerback Charles Tillman's status is still up in the air.
Both players sat out Tuesday's practice at Halas Hall, but for Urlacher, that will be common practice throughout the season as he maintains his injured knee.
