Now that the official injury report has been filed with the league, we know the Bears could be in trouble at the safety position Thursday night against the 49ers. Safety Kevin Payne is listed as out with a back injury. The good news is safety Al Afalava is questionable with a shoulder injury.
Last week after Afalava was injured, Payne filled in for him. This week, if neither play can go the Bears likley will have to play either Josh Bullocks or Craig Steltz.
Also out is running back Garrett Wolfe with what the team is calling a back injury.
Probable Bears are tight end Desmond Clark (neck), defensive tackle Tommie Harris (knee) and cornerback Charles Tillman (shoulder).
For the 49ers, running back Glen Coffee (concussion) and defensive tackle Demetric Evans (shoulder) are out. They join cornerback Nate Clements (shoulder) and offensive tackle Joe Staley (knee) on the sidelins.
The 49ers also list wide receiver Isaac Bruce (ankle) as questionable. Among their 11 players listed as probable are tight end Vernon Davis (shoulder) and running back Frank Gore (eye lid).
