Bullocks starts for Afalava

With the top two strong safeties inactive because of injuries tonight – starter Al Afalava (shoulder) and Kevin Payne (back) -- five-year veteran Josh Bullocks will get his first Bears start.

Bullocks was inactive the past two games, but he started 49 games the previous four seasons with the Saints.

Tonight’s other inactives are wide receiver Juaquin Iglesias, running back Garrett Wolfe (back/kidney), linebacker Pisa Tinoisamoa (knee), guard Lance Louis and defensive tackles Matt Toeaina and Jarron Gilbert.

Rookie cornerback D.J. Moore is active for the first time this season.
