Former Bears star Steve McMichael was discharged from Silver Cross Hospital and went home Tuesday night, his publicist posted on social media. McMichael had been in the hospital since Thursday because of sepsis and pneumonia as he continues his fight with ALS.

While his condition will continue to deteriorate because of the disease, his wife said he is hoping to live long enough to see himself inducted into the Hall of Fame. He is one of 12 semifinalists to earn a nomination from the seniors committee, which will choose three finalists Aug. 22.
