Chicago, IL - Starting RB Matt Forte was injured in the first game of the season, diagnosed with a broken jaw. While no immediate timetable was given - doctors speculate he will return in 4-6 weeks. "It's tough to lose your starting RB, Matt is obviously very dynamic but Bush and Forsett have to step up and fill that production" Coach Trestman stated.
The Chicago Bears announced they have signed veterans RB Willis Mcgahee and MLB Bart Scott. The Mcgahee signing has been rumored since the injury to Forte as the Bears were short on RBs. The veteran scott brings toughness to a hard hitting LBing core which should be stout against the run. Rb Willis Mcgahee MLB Bart Scott
