CHICAGO - To no one's surprise, Asante Samuel did not make the trip here for the Eagles' game against the Bears on Sunday.
The cornerback was listed as questionable on Friday's official injury report with a knee sprain, but Samuel was declared out by the team on Saturday following a walk-through at the NovaCare Complex.
With Samuel, the NFL's leader in interceptions with seven, sidelined, Joselio Hanson will start at left cornerback.
Eagles coach Andy Reid said that he had a few options to replace Hanson as the nickel back, but rookie Trevard Lindley is expected to play on the outside when Hanson moves inside on passing downs.
