LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- The Chicago Bears' coverage units will again be put to the test this weekend, as Dave Toub's unit must contain Philadelphia speedster DeSean Jackson, who has returned a punt 85 yards for a touchdown earlier this season.

"Any time he touches the ball, we got our hands full because he can take it the distance at any time," Toub said. "The big thing with him is that his first step is unbelievable. He can create separation initially, he can make you miss early, I mean really quick. His top end speed is nothing that we've faced this year so far. We got our hands full."

"He reminds me of Devin [Hester]," Toub said. "Just the way he plays, he's got really good hands, good ball reader. His first step is just like Devin's, and he's got that top end speed. He's dangerous."

After Philadephia placed Ellis Hobbs on injured reserve, the Eagles are expected to use rookie Jeremy Maclin on kickoff returns. The Bears were very high on Maclin coming out of Missouri, and strongly considered taking the receiver in the first round, until the Bears dealt the pick to Denver as part of the package for Jay Cutler.
