APBears running back Matt Forte is healing faster than expected.
Forte was back on the practice field in Chicago today, and he told reporters afterward that he was pleased that swelling in his ankle hasn’t been a problem and he expects to play on Monday night against the Cowboys.
“I didn’t really swell up in the ankle, so that’s the big part. When you have an ankle injury when the swelling is big, takes a long time to get it out. But I didn’t really swell up, so I felt like I’d be back pretty soon,” Forte said.
When asked if he thinks he’s playing Monday, Forte said, “yeah.”
Bears coach Lovie Smith said Forte still has a long way to go, but Smith said he’s optimistic about Forte’s recovery.
Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher, who has been taking it easy in practice to protect his surgically repaired knee, participated in drills at the start of practice. Defensive end Julius Peppers sat out with a foot injury. Right tackle Gabe Carimi, who calls himself The Bear Jew, took the day off for Yom Kippur.

D Ware and Co. will make sure that ankle gets some good treatment Monday Night.
Stay on the Bench. I have Michael Bush and he gets decent FF points. You do not. You are too tender

How’s that? They gonna clean off his shoes with their backsides?
D Ware and Jerrys boys will be wishing Forte sat out one more week. Big game from Forte and Big numbers from the Bears on Monday night.
No you don’t, you should just stay on the sidelines and try to heal another week. Don’t want to come back too early.

When they rush upfield and watch as he grabs another 6 yards ? Whatever.

Matt Forte is a stud. Lay off that crack pipe
Come on forte! Dress and get in the end zone…what a beast
He will be lucky to get “Forte” yards!!!
Packers fans are scared now cause they know when Chicago beat Dallas Monday night they will be 2 games behind. oops it could be 3 cause Brees is looking for a win on sunday. Im glad Greenbay got CHEATED….. HA ha
I don’t care what anyone says I am gonna bench him for one more week in fantasy football.
Got to give the guy credit for pushing to get playing AFTER he signed his new deal. He could have just as easily taken a couple more games off.
The Cowboys D still needs some work up front, but the unsung part of the defense is Sean Lee and Bruce Carter….
Quietly fixed a piss poor Linebacking corps…
I’m surprised that Forte is coming back so soon. I think he wants to be on the MNF big stage in Dallas.
I need you Bro. Your on my Fantasy Football Team. I lost Trying to replace you..
*ps Go Bears! anyone but whinner Packers fans at this point!
