LAKE FOREST – Family comes first for Bears cornerback Charles Tillman.

Tillman’s wife is pregnant with the couple’s fourth child, a girl who could arrive any day. And if the baby waits until Sunday night to enter the world, then Tillman said he would skip the Bears’ game against the Houston Texans to be by his family’s side.

“At the end of the day, that’s all you have,” Tillman said Wednesday after practice at Halas Hall. “To me, this game is important to me, but after what we went through with my middle child, Tiana, to me football is second. It’ll always be second or third in my life.
