This might finally be the week that DeAndre Levy returns to action.
The Detroit Lions haven't confirmed as much, but signs are pointing toward Levy playing a limited role in Sunday's game against the Chicago Bears (1 p.m., Fox).
The linebacker, who has not played since injuring his knee in a Week 1 win over the Indianapolis Colts, has seen his action ramp up in practice this week.
Levy's status on the Lions' injury report has not changed -- he's officially "questionable" to play for the third straight week -- but some of his teammates have started to talk more optimistically about his return.
