Wootton injury casts potential cloud over defense

[Ra's al Ghul]

BOURBONNAIS – A hip injury sent defensive lineman Corey Wootton off the practice field Thursday morning and out for an MRI that the Bears hope will confirm coach Marc Trestman’s estimate that it is just a “ding.”

“Corey is day-to-day,” Trestman said. “We don’t think it’s serious.”

The Bears, already having lost end Turk McBride to a season-ending Achilles injury and tackle Sedrick Ellis to retirement, hope so. Veteran Jamaal Anderson, another potential swingman for end and tackle, missed his second day of practice with a sore knee.

Wootton, having one of the consensus best training camps of any Bear, has emerged as a key multi-role player in the wake of the departure of end/tackle swingman Israel Idonije for the Detroit Lions.

Wootton has been the clear starter over Shea McClellin with the No.1 defense and has regularly moved to tackle in nickel situations where his 6-foot-6-inch height is a crucial part of the interior pass rush.

Seeing that Trestman has been nothing but honest when evaluating injuries thus far I will chalk this up as a slow newsday for the csn chicago. Williams was told to be Week-to-Week, Bushrod Day-to-Day (already out of walking boot), Turk we were told it was bad then later confirmed out for season.

This is no longer Lovie people, he isn't hiding stuff, and the media needs to stop thinking this is some game he is playing with the media.
