Two Bears Out for Season

ESPN.com’s Len Pasquarelli is reporting that two Bears defensive players - free safety Mike Brown and nose tackle Dustin Dvoracek - have suffered season-ending injuries after the first game of the year.  Both men suffered knee injuries during the Bears’ loss to the San Diego Chargers. Both players will spend the rest of the season on the Injured Reserve list, and neither of them for the first time in their careers, much to their frustration and that of Bears fans everywhere.

Mike Brown must watch from the sidelines for the rest of the season for the third time in the past four years.  Brown has long been considered the emotional leader of the Chicago secondary.  He was visibly emotionally distraught on the sidelines and after the game on Sunday.  Further compounding the problem of Brown’s injury is that it came on a play that many pundits have gone so far as to categorize as “dirty,” due to the hit leveled by Chargers fullback Lorenzo Neal.  No word yet as to whether the Bears have sent video of the play to the league office to investigate.
