Urlacher, Bears have no comment on blood treatment rumors

Posted: Updated:
CHICAGO (FOX 32 News) -

The mystery surrounding Brian Urlacher's injured knee continues.

The Chicago Tribune reported Wednesday that the Bears linebacker went to Germany several months ago for a pioneering blood treatment for his knee.

The treatment isn't FDA approved, but several athletes - including Alex Rodriguez and Kobe Bryant - have given it rave reviews.

Urlacher and the Bears neither confirm nor deny the claims. Whether he's ready to play in the season opener remains to be seen.
