Marion Barber unlikely to play Week 1

Bears RB Marion Barber is still out with the calf injury he suffered in the 3rd preseason game.  He hasn't been ruled out for Week 1 yet, but beat writer Mark Potash considers him unlikely to play.  ''We're running out of time a little bit for Marion,'' HC Lovie Smith said. ''But he's feeling a little better. So hopefully we'll be able to get him on the field before long.''  Barber won't be a fantasy option even if he does end up playing Sunday against the Falcons.  But if he does end up inactive, it'd give RB Matt Forte a little boost.
