Returning players give Bears big boost

Guards Kyle Long and Josh Sitton, receiver Eddie Royal, nose tackle Eddie Goldman and cornerback Bryce Callahan all returned to the field following the team's week off. The five players have combined to miss 13 games this season.

"It's a huge boost," said coach John Fox, who gave his players the entire week off following their Halloween night win over the Vikings. "Getting two Pro Bowl guards back is helpful. The receiver position gets a little deeper, as well as the punt returning. That makes us healthier in a lot of spots.
