KYLE ORTON EXPECTED TO START
Posted by Michael David Smith on November 14, 2008, 5:47 p.m.
Bears quarterback Kyle Orton is listed as probable for Sunday’s game and is expected to start at Green Bay.
“Kyle Orton looked better today than he did yesterday, so we’re keeping our fingers crossed with him,” Bears coach Lovie Smith said after Friday’s practice. “We’ll see how it goes for him tomorrow, but he’s gotten better each day. There’s no reason to think that won’t continue until Sunday.”
Orton sprained his right ankle in a win over the Detroit Lions on November 2 and was expected to miss three or four games, but it now looks like last weekend’s loss to the Titans was the only game he’ll miss.
Orton has completed 61.9 percent of his passes this season, with 10 touchdowns, four interceptions and a 90.8 passer rating. Rex Grossman, who played the second half against the Lions and the whole game against the Titans, has completed 50.9 percent of his passes, with two touchdowns, two interceptions and a 59.0 passer rating.
