Check back all day for up-to-the-minute reports on Bears vs. Cardinals from Soldier Field.
Update: Defensive tackle Tommie Harris received a personal foul penalty and was ejected from the game early in the first quarter. He punched Arizona right guard Deuce Lutui in the facemask on the game's fourth play. The two had gotten into a squabble on the previous play. Harris was replaced by Israel Idonije.
The Bears caught a break before their game with the Cardinals even started when Cardinals wide receiver Anquan Boldin was put on the inactive list.
Other inactive players for the Cardinals are safety Rashad Johnson, linebacker Gerald Hayes, offensive lineman Herman Johnson, guard Brandon Keith, tight end Stephen Spach and tight end Dominique Byrd.
For the Bears, Devin Hester, who was hobbled by a right ankle sprain as well, showed no limitations while warming up.The Bears' inactives are wide receivers Devin Aromashodu and Juaquin Iglesias, defensive back Josh Bullocks, defensive tackle Jarron Gilbert, linebacker Pisa Tinoisamoa, guard Lance Louis, and cornerback D.J. Moore. Defensive tackle Matt Toeaina also appears to be sidelined coming off a calf injury.
David Haugh and Dan Pompei tell you what to look for today:













I very much appreciated your writings and sharing your thoughts to everyone. I expect more articles to read for the next time.
Harris should donate his salary to the Bear Fans who had to stomach yet another debacle. I hope the league suspends him for 4 games. Better yet, 8 games.
Cover 2,cover who,the fans could have played better. Tillman can't cover his braids. Harris doesn't want to play too old or too lazy,that goes for the whole defense. It's too bad that they get paid.
Boo hiss Boo horrible team you pay them how much money to loose ? hire me I can loose
I see every 'expert' in the Trib.today picked the Bears to win (just like in the Cincy game). When will these so called soothsayers think with their minds and not their hearts. Maybe their vision was clouded by the win last week against the mighty Browns. Cutler is showing just what he did for Denver, good plays followed by a poor plays. I see an 8-8 record for the year.
looks like harris did not want to earn his pay check always a problem the organization needs new coaches Everyone should have known their would have been a mess before the middle of the season. football and politics make strange bed mates
Welcome Bears fans to the 90's !
How does it help the team for Harris to get called for a personal foul so severe that he's ejected from the game? Arrgh. This is a train wreck.
This is an embarrassment to football. We might as well go for it on all 4th downs, we cannot stop them anyway.
Tommie Harris needs to go, Lovie and Angelo should be sweating this, do not see any fire in this team and with as big of a game as this is, how can they not come to play. We can't play Cleveland every week unfortunately.
Makes me sick. "D" can't stop them. Cutler is scrambling. Harris ejected. This is a MUST game and again Lovie doesn't have them prepared. Get rid of this coaching staff already!
It's time for Lovie Smith & Co. to go. That's no coaching I'm seeing out there...

i hate to keep harping on this coaching staff but did you see Lovie talking to his defense.. no emotion, this is football not modern dance. Get that great play call on the reverse and olin Kruetz is pulling to try and make a block on the outside backer what a joke
You know, I'm thinking that the Bears could just cut Harris on Monday and I would be less disappointed than I was when they cut Tank Johnson.
I'd like to see more of this in the NFL.
We need another Ditka...
The Bears are getting manhandled on Defense and Rod Marinellis d line stinks No pressure. They cant even track down a 40 year old quarterback
Bears just need to keep passing the ball. They should no longer be a run first team with Cutler at QB. Pass, Pass, Pass, then bust a run.
This Lovie Smith team is undisiplend and the coaching is terrible. No rush and players that do what they want when they want. Time for a new coaching staff.
Time for Harris to go. He's hurt his team again.
