Bad news for local football fans, Aurora's Larry English will not play Saturday night when the Chicago Bears open their 2010 preseason schedule at San Diego.

The outside linebacker and first-round draft choice last year for the Chargers had looked much improved early in camp according to several reports but has missed several practices in the last week to 10 days with a muscle strain in his foot. That's according to a report from Charger beat writer Kevin Acee in the San Diego Union-Tribune.

The game will kick off a little after 8 p.m. and be televised on Fox.
