Urlacher Done for Season

[Cheesehead Craig]

Girlacher needs to get that wrist fixed so he can properly carry his purse.

losing him is a giant blow to that team. he's the heart and soul of that defense

Well the livers and kidneys that remained played pretty danged hard without him.

Hunter was in there for 2nd half. It's my coworkers 1st cousin and roommate - surprised HH stuck it out this year. I had heard he wanted to quit and move onto business items.

Speculation they'll bring in Brooks...

Interesting about HH. That was one of the "issues" some raised about him before he was drafted, that football might not be his passion and that he would leave early for other things he wanted to do.

Anyone have a Desmond Clark update? Didn't he leave on a stretcher.

I heard somewhere that it was a back bruise that made it difficult for him to move after the game.

Hopefully it just stiffened up on the guy. If it were spinal, I'd think the national media would be making a bigger fuss over it.

just heard from a buddy that he's out for the season!!

just found this...http://www.chicagotribune.com/sports/

DAYUM..!

A wrist though??

[packers11]

how does that keep you out the whole season? I broke my wrist once, it took a month to heal (although I was very young)... 2 months max and he would be back out there... Im a bit confused

It was a dislocation, maybe there was some ligament damage as well.

[Dabaddestbear]

Perhaps he broke it on the Rodgers late hit.

i hope so. should have been a flag on that i think. i bet the Pack get more than one apology, from the league, for a bad call this week.

The announcer said it was "good clean football." Bullshit. Urlacher was late, it was borderline at best.

Come on guys...if it was the other way around there is no way you would say that was a late hit. He was launching towards the QB right as the ball was about to be released. Do you think he has the ability to pause in midair like a video game? Not even on Madden 2050 can you do that! lol.

By the way he injured it in the first quarter when he hit the ground after a tackle. He taped it up and told the team doctors he was ok as he went on to play into the second half with what he described as a little pain.
After the surgery they found it to be worse than expected. HE IS DONE FOR THE SEASON.

Tough break (no pun intended) for the Bears. We have to move on and make the most of what they can.We lost two starting LB's that game, yet the defense still seemed inspired and rolling. Eager to see how they try and pull this together.

It was said to have been dislocated at first and that they put it back in place. That very well could have made it worse by causing more damage. And a civilian coming back from a broken wrist does not compare to a NFL LB. You would not had to deal with 300lb+ men bashing into it at full speed each week.

If Urlacher broke his wrist on that hit then I can't tell you how excited I am about that. Say what you will about sportsmanship and all that shit, but that's irony at its best and it couldn't have happened to a better guy.

C'mon Mission, its a game and i dont want ANYONE hurt...

Like I always say, the only real difference b/w these cats is who drafted them, traded for them, and frickn unifroms. If the ppl they battle hard against every week dont wish ill on each other why should we mere fans?

U a cool cat so this is Just my opinion and Im not judging you (altho u said u used to LOVE fighting - lol). Just tryna add perspective; at the end of the day he has a family and friends like all of us,

Not to mention Vashar, Tillman and Harris seemingly always being at less than full strength. But the Bears shouldn't worry about losing Urlacher. After all, "it's only a flesh wound." In all seriousness, as much as I hate the Bears, I do feel sympathy for their accumulating injuries. And I would much rather have the Pack beat them at full strength and have the joy of watching Cutler revert to his classic tantrum-and-pout mode.

I agree... so luckily he'll get to spend more time with his family and friends this season.

If he was dead or paralyzed that'd be a different story. But he's not, and shit happens... its football.
