ALLEN PARK — At this morning’s practice it was the same scenario as Wednesday. Safety Louis Delmas (ankle) did not practice but was on the field with the defensive backs keeping a close eye on practice. Delmas has been bothered by the ankle for weeks and is expected to play on Sunday against the Chicago Bears.

Middle linebacker Larry Foote was on the sidelines with his left foot in a orthopedic boot. He missed Sunday’s game at San Francisco and it would seem he’s unlikely to play this Sunday.

Cornerback Phillip Buchanon, who separated a shoulder against Arizona two weeks ago, practiced for the second straight day. He did not play against the Niners.

The team will wait until 1 p.m. to announce a sellout. On Wednesday they had just 1,000 tickets remaining.
