Collie, Urlacher hope to play week 1

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. (WLFI) - Indianapolis Colts wide receiver and Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher are expected to play in Sunday's game when the Colts and Bears play each other at 1 pm.

Collie suffered a concussion two weeks ago against the Pittsburgh Steelers. It was his third concussion in 22 months. Head Coach Chuck Pagano said on Monday that Collie is practicing at full speed.

"Full go, yep," said Pagano. "(He looked) great. Fresh legs. Ran all over the place. Caught everything. He looked good."

Urlacher has been recovering from arthroscopic knee surgery. He practiced on Monday and expects to play against the Colts. Pagano said the Bears defense is completely different with Urlacher in the game.

"I mean he’s a Hall of Fame, future Hall of Fame linebacker," said Pagano. "He’s a beast in the middle of that defense, and they’re extremely strong up the middle. (Brian Urlacher) and (Lance) Briggs are two of the best linebackers in the business. When he’s out there, it’s just a different dimension. Like, where I came from, when 52 (Ray Lewis) is out there, it’s a whole different defense. It’s the same thing with them. When 54 (Brian Urlacher) is out there, it’s a whole different defense."
