With rookie center Hroniss Grasu again limited in Friday’s practice with a neck injury, the Bears prepare for one of the NFL’s best pass-rushing defenses with half of their top eight offensive linemen finishing the week on the injury report.
Grasu is listed as questionable. So too is left tackle Jermon Bushrod, limited with a shoulder injury.

Guards Patrick Omameh (ankle) and Matt Slauson (knee/shoulder) are probable, with Slauson likely to move over to center if Grasu is unable to play.
Middle linebacker Shea McClellin (knee), injured in the win at Kansas City, did not practice and is doubtful. Defensive lineman Bruce Gaston was limited and questionable and safety Antrel Rolle, out with an ankle injury the past two weeks, was able to practice sufficiently to be listed as questionable.

Linebacker Pernell McPhee was limited and probable for non-injury reasons.
