Kreutz returns to practice

Center Olin Kreutz (back) returned to practice today, but tight end Desmond Clark (neck), safety Kevin Payne (back) and running back Garrett Wolfe (back) remain out.

Even though Frank Omiyale finished last week's game at left guard in place of starter Josh Beekman, it looks like Beekman will get his fourth straight start Sunday night. Omiyale started the first six games.

"I don't think there's going to be any changes," Omiyale said, "so I would say Josh still is getting the job done."

Omiyale is considered the better pass protector, which is why he was on the field last week for the final series, when the Bears threw on all 11 plays. Beekman gets the edge as a run blocker.
