Bears Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

A forgotten man for much of the season, six-year veteran defensive tackle Anthony Adams now has an opportunity to show the Bears they erred while letting him remain idle on the inactive list for seven of the first 10 games this season.

The season is over for Dusty Dvoracek, who started each of the first 12 games at nose tackle but suffered a ruptured biceps Sunday night trying to tackle Adrian Peterson while being double-teamed. Dvoracek has 40 tackles, more than any other Bears lineman, but Adams stepped up with six tackles against the Vikings, and rookie tackle Marcus Harrison added seven.

Both players will get snaps in Dvoracek's spot, but Harrison is more comfortable playing the three technique tackle in relief of Tommie Harris.
