Mike Kyle

The quarterback of the Chicago Bears, Kyle Orton has been sidelined with an injury in Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions at the end of the second quarter. Even if the team won the game 27-23, they are a bit worried about the injury known as Orton, a sprained ankle, but they do not yet know how bad it is yet. He was examined by doctors after the game but they said it should be subjected to an MRI Monday.

The game was good enough for the bears, although they also lost their chief emotion, Mike Brown, due to a calf injury for the same quarter. Orton was replaced by Rex Grossman, who was not well received by fans, however, he made the winning pass to Rashied Davis to score the touchdown, but where a lot of mistakes on his performance.

The team expects Orton to be back maybe in four weeks, they have to run more tests to be sure there is no fracture, since this type of injury is a kind serious. They also need to know the width of the roof is sprained ankle because depending on that, it might be treated with a startup, or it may be subjected to surgery.

It does not seem so bad for Orton, but the Bears are taking all necessary precautions so that it can be the least time possible. It is certain that he will miss the game this Sunday against the Tennessee Titans and probably the game next week against the Packers in Green Bay. It will not be easily replaced Orton in these two upcoming games, but at least the Bears are not even considering bringing a new quarterback. The injury is not supposed to be end of season.

"To do this (bring a new rear quarter), you would say that Kyle will be absent for a long period of time," said coach Lovie Smith. "We're not there. We are evaluating an ankle injury. That's about all we are doing now. "

Kyle Orton started his football career at Purdue University and is one of only Purdue quarterbacks three who started in at least three consecutive bowl games, he has been starting in 2001 and 2002 Sun Bowls In 2003 Capital One Bowl and the 2004 Sun Bowl, he began his professional career in 2005 right into the Bears starting programming since former starter Rex Grossman has been ruled out by injury. During his first season with the team, the Bears have won 10 games fifteen Orton started, but his skill as a quarterback was not good. For the 2006 season, Grossman has been recovered and took the starting position again while Orton has been sidelined all season as the third quarter.

However, its improvements and good performance during the preseason in 2007 earned him entry into the place once again at the end of the season.
