LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Chicago Bears wide receiver Devin Hester missed practice for a second consecutive day due to a right ankle injury.

"We kept Devin Hester out," coach Lovie Smith said. "He's getting better. Hopefully he'll be able to go tomorrow."

Hester said Wednesday he intends to play Sunday versus the Arizona Cardinals.

Danieal Manning had limited participation Thursday.

"Danieal Manning is making progress too," Smith said. "A little stiffness [in his back], so he practiced on a limited basis."
