Kyle Fuller to play against Detroit Lions

Chicago Bears rookie cornerback Kyle Fuller has recovered from a knee injury and will play against the Detroit Lions on Thursday.

Fuller missed practice this week after leaving last Sunday's game with the knee issue, but he will take to the field barring any pre-game setbacks, NFL.com reports.

Should Fuller feature, he will line up against his brother Corey, a receiver for the Lions, and the two could face off for the first time in the NFL.

Fuller will be expected to match up with Calvin Johnson or Golden Tate for most of the game, but the Bears could choose to keep him on his brother at some stage.

Chicago are looking for their third consecutive victory to improve on their 5-6 record so far this season, which leaves them in third place in the NFC North.
