Brian Urlacher Questionable for Bears' Game

According to Sports Illustrated, Bears' linebacker Brian Urlacher left the team to return to Texas to be with his family due to the death of his mother.

Lavoyda Urlacher died unexpectedly in her home and was only 51 years old.
"My first priority right now is to be with my family as we mourn her loss and make the arrangements to lay her to rest," Urlacher said. "This is a very difficult and emotional time for us and I sincerely ask that you respect our privacy."

The timetable for Urlacher's return is unknown and if he is to miss Sunday's game the Bears defense will surely be hit with a blow.

Chicago takes on New Orleans, who has a very explosive offense, and the Bears will need to be in full force if they want to stop Drew Brees and company.

Urlacher cannot be replaced and only time will tell if he is present or not in the game.
