Middle linebacker Lofa Tatupu is active for the Seattle Seahawks' divisional playoff game against the Chicago Bears and expected to start.

Tatupu was questionable after suffering a concussion in the fourth quarter of last Saturday's 41-36 upset of New Orleans on a hard collision with the Saints' Julius Jones.

He went through a practice without helmets or pads on Friday and got medical clearance in time for Sunday's game.

The Seahawks had no lineup changes. The same goes for the Bears, who are in the playoffs for the first time in four years after winning the NFC North and earning a first-round bye.
