Tillman '50-50' for Packers

Text Size: AaAaAaAaAa

The Bears have listed cornerback Charles Tillman (back) and wide receiver Devin Aromashodu (quadriceps) as questionable for Sunday's season opener at Green Bay.

Meanwhile, defensive tackle Israel Idonije (hamstring) was listed as probable for the Packers game.

Tillman returned to practice this week for the first time since he had back surgery in July. He said he made progress this week, although he offered no hints as to whether he would play Sunday.

"My gut feeling is 50-50," Tillman said.

The decision will be up to the team's medical staff, he said.

"The doctors are going to make [their] decision regardless of what I say or regardless of what I do," Tillman said. "They have the green light to whatever it is I need to do. So I’m just prepared if I get it, prepared if I don’t get it. That’s why I’ve been saying 50-50 all week long."
