CANTON, Ohio — The upcoming Hall of Fame induction of Bears great Steve McMichael has brought the 1985 championship team together in celebration, but their iconic head coach won’t be there for it.
Mike Ditka isn’t scheduled to attend the enshrinement ceremony Saturday in Canton, Ohio, or the event at McMichael’s home in Homer Glen because of ongoing health issues, multiple sources said. He is expected to remain at his Naples, Fla., home.
Former players and friends have expressed serious concern about Ditka, 84, for over a year.
