Bears Could Exploit Injury to Harper

Colts CB Nick Harper suffered a high ankle sprain during the AFC Championship game against the Patriots, and that leaves the team vulnerable to the big play, which has become a bit of a staple for the Bears’ offense.  If Harper does play, he won’t be at full speed, which means that WR Mushin Mohammed will be able to overpower him and Bernard Berrian will be able to run by him deep.

If Harper doesn’t play, and a high ankle sprain usually takes six weeks to overcome, the Colts will be forced to go to their depth, and that doesn’t bode well, as Harper is the best cover corner on the team.  Not to mention, the Bears had a lot of success against New Orleans by going after CB Fred Thomas, and they could find themselves in that situation again come Sunday.
