CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Bears suspended defensive tackle Tommie Harris for Sunday’s game against the Detroit Lions.

Coach Lovie Smith said Thursday that Harris broke a team rule, but he didn’t immediately explain what it was.

“He’ll continue to rehab but won’t practice with the football team this week,” Smith said. “Monday he’ll be back with the team, hopefully ready to go and I’ll kind of go from there.”

Harris didn’t play over the weekend against the Philadelphia Eagles due to a knee injury. But the three-time Pro Bowler had been expected to play in Detroit. Harris will be replaced by Israel Idonije, with defensive tackle Anthony Adams also getting playing time.
