Devin Hester has torn rib cartilage

Bears WR/KR Davin Hester told Chicago media today he has has some torn cartilage in his rib area. He is feeling better, he said, but that doesn't guarantee he'll play against the Bucs on Sunday.

"I was told that if you go out there and it's not healed all the way, then you could damage it even more," he said. "I'm just going to get as much treatment as I can, and hopefully ill be ready."

Hester said he couldn't breathe normally for a couple days earlier in the week. He sustained the injury making a quick move against the Panthers last Sunday.
