No, this post is not a repeat from 2008. Or 2007. Or 2006. For the fourth time in as many years, Bears defensive tackle Dusty Dvoracek has apparently suffered a season-ending injury. Dvoracek left Saturday night's preseason game against the New York Giants with a knee injury, and while he was seen with his right heavily wrapped in ice afterward, he declared it to be fine. However, rumors of a scheduled MRI alluded to the fact it might be more serious. After the tests, coach Lovie Smith called it a sprained MCL, but the Sun-Times reports Dvoracek has a torn ACL in his right knee, as well, and he's finished for the year. We'll see how long before the Bears place him on the injured reserve list to make it official.

Yeah, this is exactly what the Bears needed as they're about to start the second half of their season. Already sporting the second worst running game in the NFL, the Bears announced on Thursday that they had put starting guard Ruben Brown on injured reserve -- ending his season. A shoulder injury requiring surgery was the culprit. Ruben Brown joins Mike Brown and Dusty Dvoracek as the third starter lost for the season. The loss...

Things are not looking very good for the Bears. With Sunday's 37-27 loss to the Detroit Lions, the Bears showed their weaknesses on both sides of the ball. The first game of the Brian Griese era was no more successful than the Bears under Rex Grossman. Supposedly the safe game manager, Griese threw three interceptions — two while the Bears were in the "red zone." The other one was returned 64 yards for a touchdown....

When we saw Mike Brown leave the game with an injury, Chicagoist feared the worst. Once again, one of the Bears' best defensive players and leaders on the field has a great game going and then has to leave the game prematurely. And the tears in the locker room after the game certainly didn't make us any less worried. Monday evening, our fears were confirmed when the Bears announced that Mike Brown had blown out...

With NFL commissioner Roger Goodell's crackdown on players' bad bahavior off the field, we knew this announcement was coming for Tank Johnson -- we just didn't know the length of the suspension the commish would hand down. Three weeks after being released from jail and having his sit-down with Goodell, the league announced that Tank Johnson will miss the first eight games of the 2007 season as punishment for his numerous arrests for guns violations...

Coming off an 11-5 season, with all 22 starters returning, the Bears entered this weekend's draft without the glaring holes of recent years. None-the-less, they did have some areas in which upgrades clearly would help the team. With one of the league's worst offenses, and the best defense, clearly they needed to address their offensive holes. Especially with this week's signing of Ricky Manning Jr., which helped fill a void created by Jerry Azumah's retirement....
