Coach Lovie Smith says that a player typically must practice one day during the week to be used on Sunday, but he’s willing to bend that rule if tight end Desmond Clark (shoulder, ribs; questionable) and fullback Bryan Johnson (right foot; questionable) can play.
Smith cited the club being in a must-win situation as a good reason to bend his rule. Clark is coming off his best game of the season but isn’t a recommended starter.
