LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- The Chicago Bears had just wrapped up a dysfunctional season.Chairman George McCaskey was addressing the firing of general manager Phil Emery and coach Marc Trestman when someone asked about his 91-year-old mother, team matriarch Virginia McCaskey.Shes (ticked) off, he said after the 2014 season.Who knows what shes thinking now.The second season under general manager Ryan Pace and coach John Fox isnt going the way the Bears envisioned.They hit their bye and the midway point last in the NFC North at 2-6, looking more like a team regressing than one poised for bigger things.Theres uncertainty about quarterback Jay Cutlers future in Chicago. There was a recent report of a rift between the front office and coaching staff. There has been a long list of injuries and breakdowns in execution.But there was also a dominant victory over NFC North leader Minnesota on Monday night. That, at least, sent them into the break on a positive note. Its up to the Bears to build on it.I think you always have positive visions, Fox said. Unfortunately weve had our setbacks along the way, whether it was injury-wise, execution-wise, how that affects your roster and your performance usually is pretty tell-tale. Hopefully we can get more whole as we go.The second half of the season includes just one current division leader on the schedule, and that would be the team they just beat -- Minnesota in the final game. Three other teams are a game above .500, two are at .500, one is 3-4 and another is against San Francisco (1-6).Something else that should help the Bears is theyre starting to get key players back.Cutler made a successful return after missing five games because of a thumb injury and linebacker Pernell McPhee has played the past two after he started the season on the physically unable to perform list following offseason knee surgery. But receiver Kevin White and linebacker Lamarr Houston went on injured reserve this season, big blows for the offense and defense.A long line of Bears have either missed time or played through injuries. Thats forced backups to carry a bigger load and exposed a lack of depth.Along with that, there are mounting questions about the direction of the franchise.Fox wavering over Cutlers future as the starter fueled more speculation about the quarterbacks time with the team. They also dont have a young QB theyve been grooming to replace him. And they dont know what they have in White, the No. 7 overall pick in 2015.After missing his rookie season because of a left shin injury, he is once again on injured reserve with a fractured left fibula, though Fox has said he could come back this season. That injury happened in the fourth game of the season against Detroit on Oct. 2.White was leading the team with 19 receptions and had 187 yards when he went on IR. But its not clear if he can stay healthy, let alone develop into a star.Its not just White, though. The Bears 2015 draft class as a whole has taken a beating.Two of the six picks are on injured reserve (White, center Hroniss Grasu with a torn ACL) and two more have missed time because of injuries (nose tackle Eddie Goldman, running back Jeremy Langford). Safety Adrian Amos is the only one to play all eight games, and offensive lineman Tayo Fabuluje is no longer with the team.So when you build in the draft and you lose a whole draft class, its not real conducive to success, Fox said.Despite all that, there have been some positive developments for the Bears.Outside linebacker Leonard Floyd is starting to emerge after being slowed by calf and hamstring injuries. The No. 9 overall draft pick, he has three sacks over the past two games.That kid is special, defensive end Akiem Hicks said. He has a lot of great bend, great hand work. And hes under veterans who can teach him a lot like Willie Young and Phee and Coach Hurtt (outside linebackers coach Clint Hurtt), you know guys who actually played the game and were effective.Fifth-round pick Jordan Howard has three 100-yard rushing games after running for a career-high 153 against Minnesota.But after having the Cubs deflect attention in Chicago with their championship run, all eyes figure to be on the Bears now.Its been very frustrating, because as you saw (Monday) night, were a lot better than our record is, Howard said.Its just little miscues here and there that weve had in other games. Were very confident that we can finish this season out strong and possibly make the playoffs.---AP NFL website: http://pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL Cheap Nike Air Vapormax Plus Sale . -- Whether Jeremy Hill deserves a prominent role in LSUs offence this early in the season is a matter for debate.

ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- Defensive tackle?Haloti Ngata is still undergoing tests on the shoulder injury he suffered during the Detroit Lions 24-23 win over the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday and could be out two to three weeks, a source confirmed to ESPN on Wednesday.The news was first reported by NFL Network.Lions coach Jim Caldwell, when asked about Ngata and whether he would be available Sunday against the Rams, said to check the report -- Caldwells standard answer to injury questions.Ngata was not at the open portion of Lions practice Wednesday.Ngata suffered the injury in the second half of the Lions victory over Philadelphia. He played 31 snaps before the injury.The Lions did receive some good news, injury-wise. Star defensive end Ezekiel Ansah practiced for the first time since injuring his ankle in Week 2 against the Titans and went through individual drills. This could bode well for his status Sunday against Los Angeles. He would immediately ooffer Detroit pass rush help -- an area the Lions have struggled with during the season.ddddddddddddBesides Ngata, the Lions were without running backs Dwayne Washington (ankle) and Theo Riddick (unknown), starting left guard Laken Tomlinson (unknown), tight end Eric Ebron (knee/ankle), wide receiver Anquan Boldin (unknown) and linebacker DeAndre Levy (quad/knee) at practice Wednesday. All are starters or key contributors for Detroit.Ngata, 32, has eight tackles and 1.5 sacks in five games this season. He played in 15 games and had 24 tackles and 2.5 sacks last season, his first for Detroit.If Ngata doesnt play Sunday, the Lions will likely look to either rookie AShawn Robinson or veteran Khyri Thornton to fill his spot in the starting lineup. Robinson has six tackles and a sack this season. Thornton has three tackles. cheap falcons jerseys cheap ravens jerseys cheap bills jerseys cheap bears jerseys cheap bengals jerseys cheap cowboys jerseys cheap lions jerseys cheap texans jerseys cheap colts jerseys cheap jaguars jerseys cheap chiefs jerseys cheap rams jerseys cheap dolphins jerseys cheap vikings jerseys cheap saints jerseys cheap giants jerseys cheap jets jerseys cheap eagles jerseys cheap steelers jerseys cheap 49ers jerseys ' ' '
