Forte (back) is active for Sunday's game against the Lions, Jeff Dickerson of ESPN Chicago reports.

EDGE Analysis

The back issue limited Forte during practice all week, but there wasn't much concern over him missing the contest, which could mark his final game in a Bears uniform. With Jay Cutler without his top four receiving targets Sunday in Alshon Jeffery (), Eddie Royal (illness), Martellus Bennett (ribs), and Zach Miller (toe), expect the Bears to adopt a run-heavy approach that heavily involves Forte and backfield mate Jeremy Langford.
