Jeremy Langford: Will work in tandem with Matt Forte

Langford is in line to work in tandem with Matt Forte (knee) during Thursday's contest at Green Bay, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Analysis:

While Forte figures to be the starter in his expected return, the Bears view Langford as "more explosive," which is certainly true in the passing game. On the season, Langford is averaging 15.1 yards per catch, with three receptions greater than 20 yards, but he boasts just 3.2 YPC on the ground. Expect his workload to be curtailed, though, as head coach John Fox switches between the pair throughout the contest.
