Devin Hester active against the Lions

Bears receiver Devin Hester is active for today’s game, after missing practice Thursday and Friday because of an ankle injury.

The Bears inactives are as follow: running back Kahlil Bell, defensive tackle Matt Toeaina, offensive tackle Gabe Carimi, tight end Andre Smith, defensive end Nick Reed and defensive end Corey Wootton.

For the Lions, running back Jahvid Best is inactive. He’ll be replaced in the starting lineup by Maurice Morris.

Even with Hester active, the Bears may still give more snaps to Earl Bennett and Johnny Knox. Those two also could mix in and handle some of the returns.
