Vasher May Be Back

Although the backup cornerbacks have been more than pulling their weight, good news may be in store for the Chicago Bears after this week’s bye week.  Cornerback Nathan Vasher may be ready to play after having the pins taken out of his wrist. He has been out for the past three games with his injury and is itching to be back on the field. With fill in Zach Bowman being placed on injured reserve, the Bears need Vasher back.  Safety Mike Brown said, “Starters are starters for a reason. , they earned those positions, but at the same time, our two corners (Graham and Kevin Payne) played very well. Then, when you start going down to your last corner and then you’re asking Rashied Davis to get ready, that’s when you start worrying a little bit.”

The secondary needs the time off as cornerback Charles Tillman is also out with a shoulder and nickel back Daniel Manning has a pulled hamstring. The Bears do not want to reach into their receiving corps to pull out players like Davis to fill the secondary. Hopefully, week nine will see more of the starters back on the field.  Reserve your Chicago Bears tickets at StubHub.com.
