Bears receiver Brandon Marshall left Soldier Field during Thursday's game in an ambulance, headed to a hospital for further evaluation of a rib injury. 

NFL Network cameras showed Marshall sitting in the back of an ambulance at the start of the second half. Marshall was injured in the first half when a defender's knee hit him in the back.

The Bears say Marshall injured his ribs. He posted a message on his Twitter page later Thursday night, saying "I'm good."

Thanks for the Prayers. ..
I'm Good. #MindOverMatter
