Bad break

Chicagobears.com is reporting that LB Brian Urlacher's season is over after he had surgery this morning to repair a dislocated wrist sustained in last night's loss to the Green Bay Packers.

Hunter Hillenmeyer is likely to assume the role of starting middle linebacker in Urlacher's absence. Fourth year player Jamar Williams may also be in the mix.

This is, to say the least, a tremendous blow to Bears. Expectations for Urlacher were high this season, as he reported his neck and back injuries were behind him and spent the entire off-season working out at Halas Hall.
