Charles Tillman, Julius Peppers both expected to start

By , Reporter
Cornerback Charles Tillman and defensive end Julius Peppers are both expected to play for the Chicago Bears against the Minnesota Vikings later today.

The Chicago Bears have confirmed that Charles Tillman and Julius Peppers are both likely to start against the Minnesota Vikings later today.

Tillman, who made two interceptions last weekend, missed practice time this week with a sore knee and a family matter.

Meanwhile, the defensive end was sent home on Thursday with flu-like symptoms, but is believed to have recovered in time for today's game.

The pair have both been voted to the Pro Bowl in the last two seasons.
