Bears DT Tommie Harris was not on the list of inactive players released by the team in advance of its matchup vs. the Giants.

Harris will play, but TE Desmond Clark is a healthy scratch for the first time in his Bears career, which began in 2003. Clark, OLT Chris Williams, CB Josh Moore, RB Kahlil Bell, DE Corey Wootton, DT Marcus Harrison, QB Caleb Hanie and S Major Wright are all on the inactive list.

The way we see it

It's no surprise that Harris is back in the rotation, and the decision not to play Clark shouldn't be shocking. His role has been reduced this season and he let a would-be touchdown pass bounce off his hands vs. the Packers last week.
