Lake Forest, IL (My Sportsbook) - The reeling Chicago Bears will start Chris Chandler at quarterback for Monday's game against the St. Louis Rams. Chandler will make his second straight start and fourth in five games despite a neck injury he sustained in last week's game against New England. "It's a little tight, but for the most part I think it's going to be OK," Chandler said. Chandler was hurt on a quarterback sneak. He completed 6-of-10 passes for 40 yards before leaving the contest. Jim Miller is still battling tendinitis in his right shoulder and elbow, and will be relegated to backup duty. He took over for Chandler in last week's game against the Patriots and nearly helped the Bears end a long losing streak, but Chicago coughed up a 27-6 lead in the third quarter and dropped a 33-30 decision for its seventh straight loss. Miller finished 8-of-18 for 72 yards with a touchdown and an interception against the Patriots. He has completed 56.7 percent of his passes this season for 1,494 yards with 11 touchdowns and seven interceptions. The Bears could also be without center Olin Kreutz, who had his appendix removed on Monday. He is listed as questionable. |
