Urlacher back, but not all the way

Share

BOURBONNAIS, Ill.Brian Urlacher was back at practice on Saturday after missing 10 days because of knee sorenesspersonal reasons. But he is still wearing a hat instead of a helmet.
Unfortunately, he is not the only Bears linebacker in soft headgear.
Dom DeCicco, a top player on multiple special teams, is down with a groin injury and expected to miss a significant chunk of time. Jabara Williams also has been out with a hamstring injury.
"Brian Urlacher is back after hes taken care of some business," said coach Lovie Smith. "So it was good to get him back out on the practice field even though hes not practicing yet. He still has some soreness with the knee. Well continue to monitor it.
Exactly when hell be back, I cant tell you that.
The injury to DeCicco, second on the team last season with 17 special-teams tackles, sent the Bears into the free-agent pool and signing for VikingTexan Xavier Adibi and K.C. Asiodu, an undrafted free agent.
DeCicco pulled it pretty good for him, so hell be out a while, Smith said. So thats another reason we had to bring in a couple of guys. We had five linebackers out of uniform, and its hard to practice that way.
Dom has done some good things, but hes going to be on the shelf for a while.
