(AP) - Disgruntled Pro Bowl linebacker Lance Briggs was a no-show as expected Friday when the Chicago Bears opened a three-day minicamp. "History tells me that guys will occasionally miss minicamp," coach Lovie Smith said. "History will tell you that they're sometimes late for training camp, some maybe miss training camp. "History tells me that players don't miss an entire football season. Lance is a part of us. We would like to have him here. Hopefully in time we'll get him back."
