Player News (last updated: November 24, 2009)
News: Head coach Lovie Smith defended Forte's performance in Sunday's game against the Eagles in which the second-year back ran for just 34 yards on 14 carries, the Chicago Sun-Times reports.
Spin: "First off, you know Matt did some good things last night," Smith said. "I know his yardage - the rushing total - didn't say that, but I liked the way he hit the holes." Though Forte was massively outperformed by backup running back Kahlil Bell, who ran for 81 yards on just four carries, Smith doesn't appear to have any plans to shakeup the backfield. Forte's production has been underwhelming this season (he is averaging just 3.3 yards per carry), but he remains the team's clear cut No. 1 running back and should continue to get the majority of carries.
