LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) — Chicago Bears safety Chris Harris practiced on a limited basis for the first time this week after suffering a hip pointer in a playoff win over Seattle on Sunday.
Harris, listed as questionable, says he’s “definitely playing” in this week’s NFC championship game against Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers and is feeling “a lot” better.
He was injured in the first half against the Seahawks, forcing the Bears to go with rookie Major Wright and Josh Bullocks. Harris tied cornerback Charles Tillman for the team lead with five interceptions in his first season back with Chicago after spending the previous three in Carolina.
The Packers have been hit hard by injuries all season, but their situation going into the game is relatively stable.
