Groin and shoulder injuries
Alshon Jeffery did not practice Friday, leaving the Chicago Bears with the prospect of facing the NFL’s top-ranked defense on Sunday without their No. 1 receiver. Jeffery is hobbled by a groin injury he suffered during practice on Nov. 11, and he also has a banged-up shoulder. (Chicago Tribune)
Nerdy Football Analysis: Jeffery didn’t play a full complement of snaps last week and missing a Friday practice is never a good sign for availability on Sunday. There’s a good chance he ends up on the Inactive list. Jeffery owners should have plan B in place.
