Chicago Bears six-time All-Pro linebacker and defensive co-captain Brian Urlacher will miss the rest of the 2009 season with a dislocated wrist—suffered in last night’s loss to the Green Bay Packers. He injured his wrist in the first quarter. Brian was scheduled to undergo surgery this morning when the team got back to Chicago. A dislocated bone had to be surgically put back in and Brian’s self-assessment was that his season was over.

It’s an understatement to say this is a huge loss for the Bears defense, one in which I believe they will have a very difficult time recovering. Starting LB Pisa Tinoisamoa sprained the PCL in his right knee and will also miss some time. That means more playing time for Hunter Hillenmeyer, Nick Roach and Jamar Williams. But the Bears will certainly be scouring the waiver wire for available veteran backers immediately.
