Bears MLB Brian Urlacher (knee) guaranteed he'll be ready for Week 1. Urlacher has missed six straight practices, two of which he attributed to "personal reasons." He declined to put a timetable on his return to the field. "September 9, I'll be ready to play for sure," Urlacher said. "(The season opener is) all that matters to me. Preseason games and all these practices -- I'd love to be out there -- but I'm not gonna put myself in jeopardy of missing the first game."
