Getty ImagesBears receiver Devin Hester thinks that one of the team’s wideouts will “blow up” on Monday night. Hester officially has a good chance to be the one who a eats batch of Wild Turkey Surprise.
Hester, who missed practice Thursday and who was limited on Friday with a quad injury, is listed as probable for the NFC North showdown against the Lions.
Since probable means there’s a virtual certainty Hester will be available for normal duty, it means that Hester will play — barring an aggravation or some other unlikely event.

Hey Florio,
“Probable” does not mean a guy is a virtual certainty to play. It means that the guy is “probably” going to play. If it was a “virtual certainty”, the guy would not be on the injured list.
You’re entitled to your own opinion. You’re not entitled to your own facts.
If you don’t report all injuries you get fined (see Mario Williams).
Hence if a player as a minor tweak he’s going to be listed as probable.
Neither are you.
Hester will play in this game. Chicago will win this game an go 5/1
I love it when Mikey descends amongst the commoners to layeth the smackdown.
Hester will play – he’s got a lot of heart and the Bears need him. Letting him sit out practices to ensure he’s fresh for the game isn’t a big deal.
The Lions special teams got ripped several new ones during the bye week, as well as before and after last week’s game. I don’t expect Hester to have a return for a TD, but it wouldn’t surprise me if he has a big play as a WR.
I like the Lions chances in this game quite a bit.
If Young, Burleson, and Pettigrew are sharp, it won’t matter that the Bears will double and triple team Calvin all night. We’ve got an explosive offense, and also a running game that will kill you if no one on defense stays home.
But I do love the City of Chicago – especially B.L.U.E.S. on North Halstead.
