The hamstring tear that has sidelined Brian Urlacher could end the future Hall of Famer's career, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Sunday.
The Chicago Bears middle linebacker has a Grade 2 hamstring tear that typically keeps players out 3-6 weeks. It's a possibility that Urlacher is not ready to return before Bears season is over -- whether that's in the regular season or playoffs.
Sources told Schefter "it's not out of the realm of possibility" Urlacher could retire after the season. He'll be a free agent in the spring and has had no "substantial" talks with the organization. That could mean Urlacher has played his final game.

I've been saying that this is his last year since the offseason. This injury only adds to my suspicion.
It'll be a sad day in Chicago when 54 isn't in the middle of that defense.

He has been great to watch. Start the HoF speech. One of the Top Ten All Time Bears.

Depends on how fast he heals and how far we go. Could be though.

After this season, yes. I think he will play in the playoffs.

You really think he would play in the first playoff game?
Clay Matthews has missed 6 weeks with the same injury and he is 23 years old. I'm sorry, a 34 year old is not making it back from this injury in less then 6 weeks. |

reportedly there is an outside chance of him returning this week, I think he probably sits the rest of the regular season out and will play in the playoffs. I think this is probably it for him though, sad to say.

I think that his knee and overall health, is a bigger factor than the hammy.
The hammy is a this season problem. The knee is a long term problem.
I don't think that his knee allows him to prepare properly in order to keep his game speed up. Especially, for a 34 year old MLB . So either he prepares enough and then the knee is too swollen to play or he saves the knee before the games and then doesn't have his game legs for the games.
In Lovie's defense, you can't hide the MLB who doesn't have his range anymore. |

Clay is 26... and each person responds to injuries differently, we really have no idea how severe Urlachers injuries are vs Clay.

Since I expect a complete change of coaching staff after this debacle plays itself out, I am not convinced Urlacher might stay a year to help work the new guy into the system, if retained by the new coach. Or as a reminder of one of the greatest Bears.
I don't see him playing again this season if he tore the hammie. |

I don't know what his career's future holds, but it's pretty insulting when Chicagoans call him "old" and "done" in a derogatory manner, like he hasn't played his rear end off for and sacrificed his body this city for 12 years trying to bring home a title. A lot of that has gone on for several years now.
