Detroit Lions defensive end Kyle Vanden Bosch is inactive for today's game against the Bears.

That's a somewhat surprising decision, since many expected the veteran to play through a neck injury.

Vanden Bosch had four sacks on the season, and he was among the league leaders in quarterback hits.

Bears strong side linebacker Pisa Tinoisamoa is inactive for today's game, and Nick Roach will start in his place.

The Bears other inactives are: cornerback Josh Moore, running back Kahlil Bell, guard Edwin Williams, tight end Desmond Clark, defensive end Barry Turner and defensive end Corey Wootton. Caleb Hanie is the Bears' third quarterback.

The Detroit Lions other inactives are: quarterback Matthew Stafford, quarterback Shaun Hill, cornerback Tye Hill, offensive lineman Jason Fox, guard Donald Thomas, defensive end Willie Young and receiver Bryant Johnson.
