Matt Toeaina News

With a couple days to cool off and reassess the situation, Bears offensive coordinator Ron Turner decided maybe he doesn?t need to scale back the game plan as he threatened after Sunday's game.

The Bears are relatively healthy heading into Sunday's home game against the Browns.

LAKE FOREST – Bears reserve offensive tackle Kevin Shaffer has a pretty good idea about what to expect Sunday from the Cleveland Browns.

Welcome to my live game blog! It's great to be back at Soldier Field for the first time in four weeks, especially after back-to-back losses in Atlanta and Cincinnati.

The Bears are seeking ways to break through on the defensive line, and one of the ways to Browns quarterback Derek Anderson on Sunday will be through ex-Bear John St.

A serious Tommie Harris addressed the media Friday, his first public comments since last Sunday's mysterious benching.

Defensive tackle Tommie Harris had full participation in practice for the second straight day Thursday.

Apparently Tommie Harris was doing a lot more than everyone thought. The Bears played without their once dominant, now perpetually convalescing defensive tackle, and made him look good by producing their worst defensive effort since Lovie Smith became coach in a 45-10 loss Sunday to the Cincinnati Bengals.

The plan is for Gaines Adams to make his debut for the Bears on Sunday at Cincinnati, but exactly how that will be executed remains to be seen.

Now that the dust has settled, sort of, on the Gaines Adams trade, let's examine the roster move the Bears will have to make Saturday to add him to the 53-man roster.

We knew the Bears were going to use the bye week to try and heal up at wide receiver and linebacker, and now this: defensive lineman Israel Idonije is expected to undergo arthroscopic knee surgery today, a source close to the player said.

Chicago defensive tackle Matt Toeaina, shown here during a game at Minnesota in 2007, is in his third year in the NFL but has appeared in five games.

Matt Forte's return during Sunday's game was supposed to be questionable following a knee injury, but Forte was right back on the field after absorbing the blow.

Jay Cutler hit Devin Hester on a 36-yard scoring pass with two minutes remaining to give the Bears a 25-19 come-from-behind victory over the Seattle Seahawks.

The Bears wasted a big kickoff return by Johnny Knox to start the game and then gave up 10 unanswered points to the Seahawks.

Welcome to my live blog from behind the Cheddar Curtain! I've safely crossed the border and will be your eyes and ears for tonight's regular season opener between the Bears and Packers at Lambeau Field.

Tillman started the season opener Sunday night at Lambeau Field and played the first two series against the Green Bay Packers before Zack Bowman replaced him.

Charles Tillman returned in the nick of time. Four practices were all the veteran cornerback needed to convince the Bears he was recovered from offseason shoulder surgery, back surgery and a hyperextended knee.

Lovie Smith and the Bears took to the defense on Saturday when it came to putting the final touches on the 53-man roster.
