Quotes: “I love playing with Earl,” Bears quarterback Jay Cutler said. “He’s a tough player who helps the run game and the pass game. Without him, obviously we took a little step back.”

“He’s just a dependable guy who does a great job in the slot,” Bears head coach Lovie Smith said. “That’s one thing I can say about Earl Bennett since he’s been here; we pretty much know what he’s going to do each game. He’s not an up and down type player. He’s a consistent football player in just about any role we put him in. We’re anxious to get him back out on the field.”

More news: Smith expects both Hester and Davis to practice Thursday, while Carimi and Toeaina are a week away, scheduled to return after the Bye in Week nine at Philadelphia on Monday night November 7.

Hester: The Windy City Flyer is tied for the second most return touchdowns in NFL history with Rod Woodson, and trailing only Deion Sanders (19).
