Latest Updates News About Morgan Burnett, Nate Allen,Jonathan Dwyer, Nfl Draft, Daniel Te O Nesheim

Chicago Bears general manager Jerry Angelo and coach Lovie Smith resisted to even hint at the notion of Major Wright opening the 2010 season as the Bears starting free safety.

Their reluctance to do so said it all — that Wright, the former Florida standout and Chicago’s top pick in the draft — is definitely in the mix to start as a rookie.

“To say he’s gonna come in and start, I can’t say that,” Angelo said.

Shortly before, Smith played the downplay game, too.

“You hate to talk about rookies being one of the starters right away, but I think when you pick a player … we’re expecting big things from him,” Smith said. “But there’s a long way to go before you put a rookie in a starting lineup.”

Rare earthquake rattles northern Ill.; no damage

A small pre-dawn earthquake has hit northern Illinois, startling residents as far away as Michigan and the Iowa, but no damage or injuries were immediately reported.

The U.S. Geological Survey says the 3.8-magnitude earthquake hit about 45 miles northwest of Chicago at 4 a.m. Wednesday. Scientists say the epicenter was southwest of the village of Gilberts in Kane County.

The USGS initially reported the magnitude as 4.3 but later downgraded it. USGS geophysicist Amy Vaughan says such quakes are rare in northern Illinois.

She says residents in Iowa, Indiana, Wisconsin and Michigan also reported feeling the quake.

In Kane County, sheriff's dispatchers were overwhelmed with calls, and several residential and business alarms were triggered. But spokesman Lt. Pat Gengler says no injuries or damage have been reported.
