A week after playing his best game of the season, Matt Forte is unable to play.
Forte has been ruled out for Sunday against the Buccaneers after his right knee swelled up following last week’s win over the Bills – a game that Forte scored two touchdowns in.
“I’ve been playing with swelling in my knee for a while,” Forte said. “It just got to a point where it’s getting significantly worse. Obviously, coming from a Sunday game to a Thursday game, there’s less recovery time. It just got worse on me.”
The 31-year-old had surgery to repair a torn meniscus in the knee following last season.
