The Facts:
The Bears are waiting for the swelling to go down before taking an MRI of the left side of Hester's rib area. A source close to the player said he didn't take a hit in the area earlier in the game and that it is unlikely he is suffering from bruised or cracked ribs. The expectation is that Hester pulled something but more will not be known until he undergoes the MRI, which might not happen until tomorrow.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Hester left Sunday's game against the Panthers following a kickoff return during the third quarter. ... As Sun-Times staffer Brad Biggs suggests, losing Hester for any period of time would be a big blow to the Bears considering he led them in touchdowns the past two seasons. As methodical as the offense has looked, it needs every bit of field position it can get.
