Lake Forest, IL (SportsNetwork.com) – The Chicago Bears could be going into an important early-season game without the services of both of their playmaking wide receivers.<\/p>\n
Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery each figure to be game-time decisions for the Bears in Sunday’s showdown with the San Francisco 49ers, with the team listing both wideouts as questionable on the final injury report.<\/p>\n
Marshall sprained his right ankle during last week’s 23-20 overtime loss to the Buffalo Bills, while Jeffery was forced to exit the contest after straining his left hamstring in the second half.<\/p>\n
Jeffery appears to have the better chance of the two of suiting up against the 49ers after putting in a limited practice on Friday. Marshall missed a third consecutive session.<\/p>\n
Both receivers eclipsed over 1,250 receiving yards last season, with Marshall finishing the campaign with 100 catches and 12 touchdowns.<\/p>\n
Backup wideout Josh Morgan is less likely to play due to a groin injury that has rendered him doubtful for Sunday’s matchup, and Chicago will definitely be minus a pair of starters on the offensive line as well.<\/p>\n
Center Roberto Garza and left guard Matt Slauson were both ruled out for the game after each sustained ankle sprains that forced them to leave last week’s loss.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
