Bears safety Adam Archuleta has a broken right hand but plans to play Sunday at Detroit, an NFL source said.
Archuleta, who had an interception in the 34-10 loss to Dallas, was injured while getting blocked by one of the Cowboys' receivers in the third quarter.
He landed on his hand during the play but remained in the game.
Archuleta had X-rays on the hand Monday, and no damage to his wrist was detected. He emerged from the locker room with an air cast for support. He will play with a regular cast Sunday.
Archuleta's status is relatively good news for a banged-up Bears defense.
As for Tommie Harris, an MRI on Monday revealed he had sprained the medial collateral ligament in his left knee. The Bears hold out hope that Harris, a quick healer, will play against the Lions.
A Tribune report Tuesday that Harris was expected to miss the game didn't paint an accurate picture of the injury, according to Harris' marketing agent, Bill Horn. Speculation that Harris could miss up to a month was based on the amount of time rookie tight end Greg Olsen missed with a similar injury and not the projections of Horn or Harris.
Also, a source said linebacker Lance Briggs was fine and ready to go after a groin injury knocked him out the Dallas game.
Cornerback Nathan Vasher, who also left the game with a groin injury, had an MRI on Tuesday. If Vasher can't go, Ricky Manning Jr. will step in.
Guard Ruben Brown (ankle), tackle Fred Miller (knee), cornerback Charles Tillman (ankle), defensive end Adewale Ogunleye (hip pointer) and nose tackle Darwin Walker (quad) are on the mend as well.
