Veteran guard Roberto Garza will undergo arthroscopic surgery on his knee and will not play in Sunday's game. Bears coach Lovie Smith would not speculate as to how long Garza might be sidelined. Garza's injury, however, is a factor in offensive line coach Mike Tice moving left tackle Chris Williams to left guard.
Williams is just returning from a hamstring injury he suffered early in the first quarter of a win against the Cowboys on Sept. 19.
"Hopefully, we can get him back before long," Smith said of Garza. "But right now, he's been trying to work through it. But we feel like it's not getting better and we need to get it taken care of, so we'll be doing that shortly."
Hey Neil doesn't Garza have something funky about his knee? Kind of like Hines Ward?
HAYES HERE: He's missing an ACL.
A BLESSING for Garza is in decline as is Kruetz. This is their last year. Later this year O-line is LT - Omiyale, LG - C Williams,
C - E Williams, RG - Louis, RT - Webb. Reserves T - Shaffer, Marten, and next year add #2 pick OG-C to compete inside. Save #1 for CB or DT. The O-line youth has hope!

Garza is done, Kreutz is not far behind. My GOD Chris Williams please show us you are not a wasted pick. OOPPSS to late.
It's like a merry-go-round for crying out loud. One thing they don't have to try is Omiyale at left guard. Everybody in the world knows by now that won't work.
