"With Earl Bennett entering his fifth week of recovery from a ''chest bruise,'' Devin Hester leaving Sunday night's 39-10 victory over the Vikings with a chest injury sounded ominous.

But coach Lovie Smith said Monday that Hester's injury ''shouldn't be serious,'' and it's not expected to prevent Hester from playing Sunday against the Buccaneers in London.

''We're going to put it in the bumps-and-bruises section,'' Smith said.

Hester caught a 48-yard touchdown pass from Jay Cutler in the first quarter and added a 98-yard kickoff return for a touchdown in the third quarter — extending his NFL record for career kick-return touchdowns to 16."
