It would be hard for the Bears rushing attack to get much worse, but it just took another body blow.
Backup Garrett Wolfe will miss the rest of the season with a lacerated kidney, according to Brad Biggs of the Chicago Sun-Times. The injury was learned about two weeks ago, but there was some hope he could return this season.
“He’s a great kid and it’s unfortunate,’' Bears G.M. Jerry Angelo said. ``I was hoping he would start integrating more into the offense and [offensive coordinator] Ron [Turner] was using him more in practices, and he’s done a good job on special teams. I wanted to see him take another step as a runner.’'
Wolfe’s loss will by mostly felt on special teams, one of the only strengths of Chicago’s squad. FootballOutsiders ranks the Bears unit fourth in the league.
