Yeah,, I think I'm leaning towards my original thought which is this non committal crap will continue and he'll be back after the bye.

Can we all agree now that initial reports of a high ankle sprain were almost certainly premature and erroneous?

Yes, and I wonder how many people made bad trades as a result of this misinformation.

As a Forte owner, I wouldn't have traded him unless someone blew me away with an offer.Which wasn't going to happen, especially if he misses four games, as originally speculated.
So, you're not going to get fair value in return.
And if you take an inferior player for him, then you lose the trade when Forte returns. And if you have playoff aspirations, that wouldn't be wise.
I had people telling me McGahee and LaFell would be a fair trade for Forte.
Um, no.

I almost did, but pulled back at the last minute. I still think there's a good chance he'll be a game time decision which would make it risky this week.
But as long as he's back fully next week I'll be real happy about this.
If I'm not mistaken, I think he did this last season, as well, before the Bears fell apart, vanished from the playoff race, and IRed him.

You're probably right.And with the game on Monday, he probably needs to be benched regardless.

Forte eager to get back in action against Cowboys
Chicago Bears running back Michael Bush admitted he got hit in the shoulder during last Sunday’s 23-6 win over the St. Louis Rams but brushed it off as no big deal.
Bush didn’t identify which shoulder absorbed the hit. He practiced Wednesday and seemed prepared to do the same Thursday.
"I’m fine," Bush said. "I practiced all day yesterday. Nothing’s wrong. I’m good."
Bush was the first running back up with the first team Wednesday as Matt Forte was limited to just individual drills. Forte remains optimistic about playing against the Dallas Cowboys on Monday night after sitting out the Rams game with a sprained right ankle.
If Forte is unable to go, Bush seems likely to get his second consecutive start. He rushed for 55 yards on 18 carries with a touchdown against the Rams. But Bush ran the ball just four times in the second half as the Bears turned to Kahlil Bell.
Bush expects Forte to be in the starting lineup against the Cowboys.
"I think Matt will be up this week," Bush said. "I’m still learning and making sure I’m ready in case he’s not."

Opinions on if Forte will play this week? Any bears homers wish to chime in?
Hopefully, by Sunday morning, we'll have a slightly clearer picture, though it's still incredibly risky to roll with him unless you can roll with a Bush/Ogletree in the flex.
The real question this week: Bush or Forte if Forte plays? In non-PPR, I think Bush is a little safer. But in PPR, it's a very difficult question.

Good point. This board isn't for questioning coaching decisions.
