Matt Spaeth who was Olsen's replacement, did not practice and is questionable(gameday decision). Chris Harris probably won't play.

They take a hit to their secondary, and we take a hit to ours.

Brad Biggs is reporting Harris is out for at least 2 weeks. He doubts Spaeth will play also.

Sucks for Harris, good for us. So who steps in at safety for them, Brandon Meriweather? Smitty might put on a show... again.

I also heard this, Harris will not be playing this week.

yeah, i've been hearing the same thing about harris. he won't be playing.

in fact harris himself said he won't be playing.

@mikecwright Michael C. Wright

Team officially lists Harris as questionable. Here's what he said though: "’It's disappointing not being able to play. But we’ve got the guys who can go out there and get the job done, and they will get the job done on Sunday."

good.

Harris is likely out

LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Chicago Bears safety Chris Harris tweaked his injured hamstring at practice Wednesday, delaying his return to the starting lineup, according to a source familiar with the situation.

Harris participated fully in Wednesday's workout before suffering the setback that caused the club to hold him out of Thursday's practice session. He is unlikely to play Sunday against the Carolina Panthers.

Who is next on the Bears safety depth chart? I know they play two deep to limit big plays, but can we see some 9's from Smitty for long yardage plays?

Edit: It looks like the Bears other safety Major Wright may also be out with a neck problem. Two new starters at safety can only help our offense.

btw...matt spaeth was a non-issue anyway. they really don't even use him as a blocker. they use kellen davis to help against DEs and it ain't helping.

So Davis was Olsen's replacement?

Looks like they are going with Meriweather at FS, Major Wright at SS... what bears fans seem to be saying about it anyways.

So Davis was Olsen's replacement?

they drafted davis in '08. spaeth was someone they picked up in the offseason. they saw him as a blocking TE, but they haven't really been successful with that.

not sure they "replaced" olsen. they picked up someone that was supposed to do but isn't doing what they thought olsen should have been doing but couldn't even though he actually could.

or something like that.

So Lovie knocks Olsen for not being a good blocker, and still hasn't gotten a TE that can block, what a dumbass.

Is it the Bears Chris Harris, or the one that plays S for the Panthers?

Thanks,
