Neck injury was a concern for Devin Hester

Bears receiver Devin Hester said his neck -- not shoulder -- was a concern after he went down with an injury against the Lions.

Hester suffered a strained muscle in his neck after getting crunched by two Lions defenders. He left the game in the first half and did not return.

"Anything dealing with your neck, you're pretty much nervous," Hester said. "But the results came back and it's just a little strained muscle in my neck. It's nothing major."

The injury was listed as a shoulder on game day.

"It was my neck," Hester said. "I don't know where they got (shoulder) from."

Hester, who sat out Wednesday's practice, will be ready to go when the Bears face the Falcons (Oct. 18) after the off week.

"I'm good," Hester said. "... I'll be ready for this next game coming up."
