Bears' Kyle Orton out with Sprained Ankle

Chicago Bears coach Lovie Smith confirmed at his Monday press conference that quarterback Kyle Orton has a right ankle injury, but did not elaborate.

"He has an ankle injury and we'll let you know a little bit more later in the week," said Smith. However, the Chicago Tribune is reporting that Orton could be out for up to a month with a high ankle sprain. The paper reported that he is scheduled to undergo an MRI exam later on Monday.

The injury occurred late in the second quarter of the game against the Lions on Sunday when Orton was scrambling and sacked by Cory Redding. As Orton was going down, Detroit defensive end Dewayne White fell on top of him.

Orton lay on the ground for several minutes in obvious pain as he was attended to by trainers. He was eventually carted off the field.

Rex Grossman took over for Chicago under center in the second half and guided the team to two touchdowns. His one-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter lifted the Bears to a 27-23 victory. He finished the game 9-for-19 with 58 yards, one touchdown and one interception.

Orton was 8-for-14 with 108 yards along with a rushing touchdown in the game before leaving.

Chicago also lost safety Mike Brown to a calf injury late in the first half. Smith did not elaborate any further on Brown's injury aside from saying that the team will know more about it later.
