The Chicago Bears have never been ones to let the injury status of a player slip before Sundays during the John Fox era. They prefer to keep it secret until the last possible moment, hoping to preserve some sort of competitive advantage. If that’s the case than somebody might’ve just dropped the ball big time.

One of the players who remains up in the air for week four against Detroit was wide receiver Alshon Jeffery. He’s nursing multiple injuries to his lower body. The latest being a hamstring problem, conjuring images of the same issues he suffered from in 2015. Most had him pegged as questionable for the game, but Channel 5 news apparently feels they already have the inside information on that front. Here is a video from the report.

Be sure to turn up the volume to hear it properly.

If this information proves true, then it’s yet another gut punch for a Bears offense that is already reeling. Jay Cutler is doubtful for the game with his thumb injury. Running backs Jeremy Langford and Ka’Deem Carey are down as well. The tackles are playing poorly and offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains has appeared overmatched in every game he’s called thus far. So for them to possibly lose their best target on top of it?

It’s looking like John Fox will drop to 1-9 in his coaching career at Soldier Field.
