"A player the Bears discarded could help his former team get an injured star back on the field sooner.

Chargers defensive tackle Tommie Harris had no problem giving his "little brother'' Matt Forte access to his Gurnee home to use a $20,000 hyperbaric chamber stored in the basement. The unit, which aids in healing by enhancing oxygen levels to injured body parts, might help Forte expedite the recovery process after he suffered a Grade 2 sprain of the medial collateral ligament in his right knee.

Forte told ESPNChicago.com this week that he planned to reach out to Harris about using the hyperbaric chamber. Harris said Forte was at his house Wednesday evening and apparently has used it several times this week."
