The Bears must've seen something from Bell at UCLA that we didn't. Injury riddled throughout his college career, he averaged 2.8 YPC as a senior before going undrafted in April. Bell goes 6'0/219, but ran 4.74 at February's Scouting Combine. It's a real stretch to think he has much of a future.

Clark suffered the injury in last week's game against the 49ers. Kellen Davis will play in two-tight ends sets if Clark can't go this week.

Wolfe has always been impressive against third-stringers in the preseason, but isn't explosive enough to turn the corner consistently against starting defenders, struggles in blitz protection, and packs no power at 5'7/186. If Wolfe returns to Chicago in 2010, it'll be only because he can cover kicks.

Wolfe is expected to make a complete recovery, but there wasn't a realistic hope of him playing again this season. The Bears will need to add depth at running back, and promoting undrafted free agent Khalil Bell from the practice squad is a possibility.

Drake was talking about the progress of Devin Aromashodu and how he can fit into the offense. Still, it's hard to see Aromashodu cutting into Hester's playing time. Hester has been the team's most reliable receiver and appears fresh. Hester remains a decent WR2 against the Eagles' banged up secondary Sunday night.

Aromashodu has been inactive for all but three games this season and had his first catch of the season against the 49ers last Thursday. "He's a different type of receiver for us, a little bit taller," Cutler said. "Still has the speed. He just presents a different target for me." Aromashodu remains a long-term project.

Frank Omiyale and Beekman are flip-flopping as the Bears struggle to find consistency along their line continues. Beekman is a better run blocker while Omiyale has the edge in pass protection, but neither is very good, period.
