DETROIT (AP) -The Chicago Bears are starting Craig Steltz at free safety in place of rookie Al Afalava against the Detroit Lions.
Afalava misses the game Sunday with a knee injury.
Detroit linebacker Larry Foote misses a second straight game because of a foot injury and is replaced by rookie DeAndre Levy.
Chicago’s Nathan Vasher will play cornerback in place of Charles Tillman, who went on injured reserve Wednesday with broken ribs. Tillman was injured during the 36-30 overtime victory over Minnesota on Monday night. He broke his ribs and suffered a bruised lung on a helmet hit from Steltz as they tried to tackle Minnesota’s Visanthe Shiancoe after a catch.
Tillman was hospitalized after being transported off the field on a stretcher.
