Urlacher Done For Season
UPDATED (3:32 p.m.)...

Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher underwent surgery Monday for a dislocated wrist and will be sidelined for the remainder of the season, the team announced.

Urlacher was injured during Sunday night's season-opening loss at Green Bay.

He told the Chicago Tribune in a text message that his "season is over" and the Bears confirmed that. According to the team's Web site, hand and wrist specialist Tom Wiedrich performed Monday's surgery.

Urlacher, a six-time Pro Bowl selection and a former NFL defensive player of the year, had started all 16 regular season games in seven of the previous eight seasons. He missed seven starts in 2004 with leg injuries.

Hunter Hillenmeyer likely will replace Urlacher in the Bears' lineup.

The Bears reportedly also could sign Derrick Brooks, the 11-time Pro Bowl linebacker who was released by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in February. Brooks drew recent interest from the New Orleans Saints and Oakland Raiders but wasn't signed by either team.
