Henry Melton - DL - Chicago Bears

Jan. 4, 2013 - 3:20 PM ET

According to the Chicago Tribune, Henry Melton (questionable, chest) is expected to play in Sunday's game against the Lions.

Melton hasn't played since Week 14, but returned to a full practice Friday and is on track to start in a must-win game. After ripping the Lions' organization earlier this week, Melton will get a chance to square off with veteran center Dominic Raiola. The Bears need a win and a Vikings loss to advance to the postseason.
