Bears wide receiver Alshon Jeffery has been no stranger to the injury report this season and he’s back on it this week.

Jeffery missed practice on Thursday because of a groin injury, which comes after he missed time in the preseason with a calf injury and four games in the regular season because of a hamstring issue. Jeffery suffered the injury in practice on Wednesday and the timing isn’t great for his chances of being in the lineup against the Rams.

Coach John Fox said Jeffery is day-to-day, which was the same terminology he used when Jeffery was missing those four games earlier in the year and would probably be the terminology he’d use if asked about the late Sid Luckman’s status for this weekend’s game.

Wide receiver Eddie Royal and linebacker Pernell McPhee were also out of practice with knee injuries. Royal didn’t play last Sunday while McPhee has started every game for Chicago so far this season.
