Chicago Bears linebacker Brian Urlacher has left the team to deal with a private matter that involves his mother Lavoyda Urlacher.

According to league source, the team is expected to give Urlacher as much time as he needs.

As of now, Urlacher's status for Sunday's game in New Orleans against the Saints on Sunday is uncertain.

"Our thoughts and prayers going out to Brian and his family" read a tweet from Bears quarterback Jay Cutler."

Urlacher's absence could cause some problems for the Bears as he was a huge part of the dominating Chicago defense that shut down the Atlanta Falcons this past Sunday. The Bears linebacker racked up six tackles, one fumble recovery, and one interception.

Drew Brees and the Saints would feel a little bit of relief not looking at the center of the field on Sunday and seeing number 54 lurking around. Only time will tell though.
