QB Rex Grossman, Chicago Bears
The Bears are going up against the best defensive team in the NFL when they take on the Tennessee Titans. On top of that, a number of their top wide receivers are struggling with injuries.

Julius Jones recently signed a contract with the Seattle Seahawks and should be in the mix to start for the team in 2008. Jones had a relatively successful career with the Dallas Cowboys before moving west.
The Seahawks, who also signed TJ Duckett recently, now have a number of quality running back options. Jones is probably the early favorite to be named the starter. He started last season in Dallas and has shown good ability when given carries.
