if todd johnson returns, is it your opinion that the bears insert him back into the starting spot, or does harris retain that job based on his fairly decent performance there ?

From the Shark Forum I read a thread that had a link from roto I think that the Bears will rest Urlacher. Can anyone provide us with some more info??

(Rotoworld) Brian Urlacher may rest in the second half of today's game in favor of Rod Wilson.

Impact: IDP owners are in a tough spot. Urlacher could be benched if you have a quality starting linebacker to replace him with.

I'm listening to the local radio station, nothing but conjecture currently.

Updating with actives/inactives now.

Johnson is active, which suggests he'll play. With the Bears on board as saying they may rest starters, I wouldn't be surprised if Harris saw significant time. Harris' performance has been much better in the boxscore than on the field -- he's been a liability in coverage -- and the Bears see Johnson as the clear starter. I don't think either will be a safe play today.
