As was predicted right here at BearReport.com 2 hours and 34 minutes before it actually happened – check out the blog entry and corresponding time stamp below for the evidence – the Bears activated rookie running back Kahlil Bell from the practice squad.

Despite the fact that starter Matt Forte was driven into the ground as a rookie, plus the franchise making an effort to lighten his load in Year 2, Chicago lost second stringer Kevin Jones for the season in the exhibition finale. Adrian Peterson then missed some time with a bum knee earlier in the schedule, and Garrett Wolfe was moved to injured reserve Friday because of a lacerated kidney. Bell could be active Sunday against the Eagles since the Bears need bodies, and it would be the first live game action for the undrafted free agent out of UCLA.

While the Bears won't miss him much on offense since Forte is the bellcow of the backfield, the coverage units better watch out because Philadelphia has a dynamic punt returner in DeSean Jackson, and Wolfe is a top tackler on special teams.
