Dvoracek Looks Forward to Healthy Season

Defensive tackle Dusty Dvoracek has an undeniable talent on the field, but he has struggled with injuries through every one of his three seasons with the Chicago Bears. Last year, he had a torn biceps that took him out of four games. Now, Dvoracek is fully healed and he is expecting a season sans injury.

The injuries have left Dvoracek determined to finish this season healthy. He said, “It’s frustrating and I’m sick of it, and that’s why I feel this is going to be a year of injury-free football. It’s obviously not the way I wanted to go about my career in Chicago, and as frustrated as I’m sure the fans and the media seem to get with me, I get just as frustrated. But that’s over. That’s already happened. I’ve been hurt. I’m healthy now and that’s how I’m looking at it. If I dwell on it, nothing good’s going to come of that. I’m just excited that I’m to a point where I’m healthy and ready to go and I have a great coach like Rod Marinelli to make me become the player that I’ve felt I always could be and that I’m going to be, so I’m just excited about that opportunity.”

Be there to see him this season with Chicago Bears tickets from StubHub.
