Bears Notes

>> Bears Have Issues At Safety The Chicago Bears have some serious concerns at safety. The Bears are down two safeties heading into the third preseason game against the Giants on Friday: Injured Chris Conte (shoulder) and Brandon Hardin (neck) are out and Chicago isn't certain if they will have either available for the start of the regular season. Conte says he expects to play in the Sept. 9 opener against Andrew Luck and the Colts while Hardin is wearing a neck brace after a scary injury against the Washington Redskins on Saturday. Craig Steltz is expected to start alongside Major Wright against the Giants. >>Report: Bears' Urlacher Got Treatment On Knee In Europe (Lake Forest, IL) -- Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher [[ URR-lock-er ]] reportedly had a non-invasive treatment on his injured knee in Europe this spring. According to the "Chicago Tribune," Urlacher went to Germany for Regenokine therapy, which takes five days and involves several injections. Other professional athletes, including Yankees third baseman Alex Rodriguez and Lakers guard Kobe Bryant have also had similar treatments. Urlacher, who sprained two knee ligaments during last year's season finale, remains sidelined after undergoing a scope of his knee last week. The Bears are hopeful the All-Pro linebacker will be back on the field for the team's September 9th regular-season opener against the Indianapolis Colts at Soldier Field.
