CHICAGO -- No surprises on today’s inactive list for the opener against the Bears.

RB Kevin Smith, who is coming back off ACL surgery, will sit out.

LB DeAndre Levy (groin) who has not practiced for a few weeks is also out. As expected, Landon Johnson will start in Levy’s spot in the middle.

Others who won’t play are Derrick Williams, Manny Ramirez, Jason Fox, Willie Young and Lawrence Jackson.

LB Julian Peterson will play but will wear a different number -- 98.

By the way, it’s a GREAT day for football in the Windy City. It’s sunny and temp is expected to be in low 70s.
