Brown not practicing

Defensive end Alex Brown (sprained ankle), linebacker Pisa Tinoisamoa (sprained knee) and tight end Desmond Clark (cracked rib) did not practice on Wednesday.

Tinoisamoa and Clark are not expected to play Sunday in Seattle, but Bears coach Lovie Smith said on Monday that Brown would “be good to go.”

Brown is second among NFL defensive ends, having played in 113 consecutive games, including 93 starts. The fourth-round pick from Florida was inactive for his first NFL game back in 2002 and hasn’t missed a game since.

Guard Johan Asiata was re-signed to the practice squad Wednesday after being cut last week. He replaced cornerback Woodny Turenne whose contract was terminated.
