The Facts:
Chicago Bears wide receiver Earl Bennett left in the third quarter of Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks with a head injury and did not return. It was later announced he sustained a concussion. Bennett's only catch was a 12-yard touchdown grab in the first quarter. It was his first visit to the end zone since November 7, 2011.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Bennett's touchdown catch in the first quarter was anything but ordinary. He caught the ball short of the end zone and leapt over Seattle defenders to cross the goal line. He was upended and appeared to land on the back of his head, but did not show signs of being concussed when he got up. Bennett nearly had his second score of the game in the second quarter, when he got behind the Seahawks defense—only to drop perfectly thrown Jay Cutler pass down the right sideline. He is the third Chicago receiver to hit the injury report. Devin Hester hasn't been medically cleared to return from a concussion sustained in Week 12, while rookie Alshon Jeffery is still on the mend from arthroscopic knee surgery. Both were inactive on Sunday. Bennett will need to pass the league's concussion protocol before he can return to action. Eric Weems and Dale Sanzenbacher are Chicago's other healthy wideouts behind Brandon Marshall.
