Vince Young is likely to play Sunday

Dec 17, 2009

Indications are that Vince Young will eventually get the thumbs-up to play Sunday against the Dolphins.

Young didn't practice Wednesday, but there was optimism about his recovery. He said the hamstring "feels way better" than it did earlier this week and he hopes to play.

"I want to play, definitely I want to play,'' Young said. "I am taking it easy just to be on the safe side. But at the same time I will be out there, hopefully I'll be out there. … I am a quick healer. I just feel good about the situation.''

According to running back Chris Johnson, Young made up his mind.

"He told me he was going to play,'' Johnson said. "So I expect him to be out there. … I don't think he would lie to me."

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
