"Chicago Bears running back Matt Forte wants to come back to help his team this season, but he knows he is probably still several weeks away from seeing the field.

"Day to day, I just see how it feels," Forte told ESPNChicago.com on Saturday afternoon during a physical therapy session at his home. "It's always really stiff in the morning because I've been asleep. It hurts in the morning, but once I get warmed up, I just try to see how it feels. I've been doing some straight-ahead jogging this week which has been OK, but I'm nowhere near 100 percent. So it's not looking good for next week, I know that.""
