Matt Forte returns to practice

Chicago Bears running back Matt Forte, who sprained his ankle Sept. 13 in a loss against the Green Bay Packers, returned to practice on Wednesday and said he hopes to face the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night.

"I didn't really swell up in the ankle," Forte said, "so that's the big part.

When you have an ankle injury when the swelling is big, takes a long time to get it out. But I didn't really swell up, so I felt like I'd be back pretty soon."

Michael Bush was banged up Sunday while starting for Forte. The Bears nearly signed Ryan Grant, who ended up signing with the Washington Redskins.

Gabe Carimi missed practice Wednesday because of Yom Kippur, and Julius Peppers also sat out practice.

Just read that. And Bush practiced too. Looks like everyone available except ERod (dammit I still miss Clutts for situations just like this).

All in all, looks like we are gonna have Forte and Bush for MNF which is great news.

And Greek. And Mexican. Which are not religions, rather and illustration of his range.

I'm not convinced he'll play Monday, but this is very good news.

Don't know what you're basing that on. Unless the Trib's report is utterly false, Forte wouldn't be practicing in full 5 days in advance to sit out the game IMO. He's playing.
