Chicago Bears Pro Bowl return man Devin Hester is active Sunday night versus the Green Bay Packers despite sitting out practice this week due to an sore ankle.
Hester has been dealing with a variety of injuries the past month and half which has limited his impact in the return game. His last return touchdown came against the Lions on Nov. 13. Hester was listed as questionable heading into the Christmas night contest.
Meantime, running back Marion Barber is inactive because of an injured calf, so Kahlil Bell is expected to be the featured runner in the Bears backfield with Matt Forte still recovering from an MCL sprain.
Rookie quarterback Nathan Enderle is also inactive, which means Caleb Hanie is the No. 2 quarterback behind starter Josh McCown. Enderle, the club's 2011 fifth-round pick out of Idaho, has now failed to dress 11 times this year.
Other Bears' inactives include: Quarterback Jay Cutler, tackle Levi Horn, tight end Andre Smith and defensive tackle Anthony Adams.
The Packers' inactives are: Quarterback Graham Harrell, cornerback Davon House, linebacker Frank Zombo, tackles Bryan Bulaga and Chad Clifton, defensive end Ryan Pickett and wide receiver Greg Jennings.
