Injury Report<br />
</h3>
<p>
<b>Bears:</b> Overall Chicago’s starters are healthy for the most part. No. 3 WR Markus Wheaton will likely miss his third straight game. The Bears picked up WR Dontrelle Inman from the Chargers this week, but he may be a week away from contributing. <b>Saints: </b> RG Larry Worford who has started six of the team’s seven games is out. Leading receiver rookie WR Michael Thomas may be a game time decision with a knee issue. Left tackle Terron Armstead returned to practice and should play.
