Linebacker Lance Briggs (knee) and offensive tackle Orlando Pace (groin) didn't practice Friday and aren't expected to play Sunday. Both are listed as "doubtful," after not practicing all week. Briggs has missed just two games in his seven-year career.

Defensive tackle Tommie Harris (knee), cornerback Charles Tillman (concussion) and tight end Desmond Clark (neck) all participated fully in Friday's practice inside the Walter Payton Center, and all are "questionable," for Sunday. Tillman's situation is especially tenuous given the league's recent focus on head injuries. Defensive end Alex Brown (calf) practiced and is "probable."

For the Rams, running back Steve Jackson (back) did not practice all week but is still expected to play, although he's "questionable."
