BOURBONNAIS, Ill. -- Veteran Chicago cornerback Kelvin Hayden will miss the entire season after recently tearing his left hamstring in practice at Soldier Field. Hayden will have surgery to repair the hamstring and will need six to eight months of rehab, Bears coach Marc Trestman said Wednesday. Hayden was injured in practice on Saturday night. The 30-year-old Hayden has 12 career interceptions. Second-year player Isaiah Frey will replace him in the nickel back spot in Fridays preseason opener at Carolina. Frey, a sixth-round draft pick out of Nevada, has been one of the surprises of training camp with a handful of forced turnovers. "It seems like the ball is kind of a magnet towards me right now," Frey said. "Ive just got to keep making the plays." Frey, a practice player last year, has impressed the coaching staff since the start of camp. "I think Isaiah has got to come out and continue to do what hes doing," Trestman said. "Hes certainly in competition right now to be that guy. Weve got a long way to go." Zack Bowman and Sherrick McManus are the experienced reserve Bears cornerbacks behind starters Charles Tillman and Tim Jennings. The Bears had D.J. Moore as an extra nickel back last year, but allowed him to leave in free agency and he signed with the Carolina Panthers. Hayden, a Chicago native, intercepted Rex Grossmans pass in Super Bowl XLI and returned it for a clinching Indianapolis Colts touchdown in 2007. He becomes a free agent after the 2013 season. Frey called the 2012 experience he received on the practice squad as invaluable. "Last year, you come in as a rookie and you dont know really what to expect," he said. "But this year I knew what was going on and was able to be a lot more comfortable." The injury was one of several to hit the Bears in the past week. Wide receiver Earl Bennett has been sidelined since Saturday with a concussion, which was confirmed by the team. Bennett also suffered a concussion last December in a loss to the Seattle Seahawks. Defensive end Julius Peppers has not practiced since Saturday because of a tight hamstring. The Bears are also without starting middle linebacker D.J. Williams (strained right calf) and rookie second-round draft pick Jonathan Bostic will start in his place Friday. Starting free safety Chris Conte also missed practice Wednesday with hamstring tightness. Custom Basketball Jerseys . LeBron James and Chris Bosh didnt need any more.

If desperately trying to hold on to my youth has taught me anything, its that a near daily check-in is required to stay on top of whats in. In a blink, Snapchat took over the social media landscape for the young and hip, leaving twenty- and thirtysomethings scrambling to figure out how to turn our tongues into rainbows and light our heads on fire.Mom jorts are somehow still in, man buns are already out and I should apparently be listening to more K-pop. We hated Justin Bieber, but now we love him -- or at least his music. We hated Taylor Swift, but now we love her -- except maybe I think were supposed to hate her again. Someone check Kim Kardashians app and let me know. Orange is the New Black, Hiddleston is the new Harris and Pokemon is going to get us all robbed.?I guess Heidi Klum is right: One day you are in, the next you are out. No one knows that better than Olympic athletes, who toil away in relative obscurity for years so they can enjoy the biggest stage in the world for one week, one day, sometimes just a few seconds. And then the spotlight is gone again and its back to work, or, for many, the reality of a future without that Olympic goal four years away.There are a few athletes every go-round that do manage to capture Americas heart and hang on, turning their crowning athletic achievement into years of endorsements, commercials and speaking engagements. The mere mention of these folks conjures up patriotic fever dreams of bald eagles, perfectly grilled hot dogs and Ralph Lauren blazers. Im talking about the Mary Lou Rettons, Jackie Joyner-Kersees and Michael Phelpses of the world -- athletes forever etched in our minds.There are other?athletes who never reach that kind of Olympic-recognition zenith, but who can still parlay their moment of Games glory into a pretty great career -- maybe even a stint on Dancing With The Stars. This summer well see the return of some big names -- like Phelps, Alex Morgan, Missy Franklin and Gabby Douglas -- but also some fresh new faces poised to steal our hearts -- and a future cover of People magazine.Lets take a guess at which Rio stars might become our new American heroes -- or at the very least be doing the paso doble with Val Chmerkovskiy come September.Simone Biles: With a gold in Glasgow last year, Biles became the first woman to win three straight all-around world titles. Theres a ton of hype for the 19-year-old heading into Rio, including former Olympic all-around champion Nastia Liukin calling her the best gymnast who ever lived. Since winning the U.S. all-around title in August 2013, shes won every all-around competition shes entered -- 11 straight. Successful U.S. womens gymnasts tend to make the most out of their time in the Olympic spotlight, so its safe to say Biles could be on her way to American hero status.Miles Chamley-Watson and Ibtihaj Muhammad: Chances are the only fencing youve seen in the past four years has involved light sabers and that brooding dude from Girls in a crreepy mask.dddddddddddd Well, en garde, because youre about to meet two of the most intriguing athletes at this years Olympics. Chamley-Watson is a part-time model with bleached hair and tattoos who regularly posts shirtless snaps to his Instagram and calls his fencing peers vanilla and super boring. Muhammad is a New Jersey native who will make history as the first U.S. woman to compete wearing a hijab. Shes funny and outspoken and will no doubt be the focus of a lot of attention during this divisive time in our country. Shes more than able to turn her Olympic platform into something truly inspiring.Katie Ledecky: At just 15 years old Ledecky shocked even her U.S. teammates, winning Olympic gold in the 800 meters in London. Since then shes set 11 world records and won every major international competition shes entered. She heads to Rio with world records in the 400, 800 and 1,500 freestyle. In USA Today, 11-time Olympic medalist Ryan Lochte said of Ledecky, I guarantee in Rio everyones mouths are going to drop during one of her races. Shes going to do a time where everyones going to be like, What the heck just happened?Adeline Gray: Ever since her first wrestling class at age 6, Gray has been a natural. As a girl she fought attempts to keep her off the boys teams and won a lot of matches via forfeit when the guys werent willing to fight her. As womens wrestling grows, she gets to be the kind of role model that she didnt have growing up. After baring all in ESPN The Magazines Body Issue, the 25-year-old is ready to leave it all on the mat in Rio. If fans get a chance to hear much from Gray, theyll fall in love instantly. Her skill, wisdom and charm could make her a star.Kanak Jha: Table tennis doesnt usually get much play during prime-time coverage of the Olympics, but you can bet there will be a feature or two on Jha in the coming weeks. A 16-year-old out of the Bay Area, hes the youngest Olympian on the U.S. team and was the first athlete born in the 2000s to qualify. While his path to the podium seems even tougher than Stephen Colberts at last weeks Democratic National Convention (Jhas currently ranked 272nd in the world), hes sure to get plenty of attention in his first trip to the Olympics. And at the very least he can probably show the older athletes how to turn on two filters at once on Snapchat.***This episode of the Thats What She Said podcast features award-winning USA Today columnist Christine Brennan calling in from Rio.
