After missing practice Friday with hamstring tightness, the Bears wide receiver has been ruled out for Sunday’s game against the Cardinals, NFL Network reported.
STEELE: Week 2 predictions | IYER: Picking against the spread
Jeffery was a late addition to the injury report after struggling with the injury Thursday and missing practice the rest of the week.
Jeffery was sidelined for much of the summer with a calf injury that left him less than 100 percent for the season opener. Still, the injury didn’t keep him from playing in Chicago’s Week 1 loss to the Packers. He finished with five catches for 78 yards but didn’t get into the end zone.
The Bears’ passing attack has been severely weakened after the team lost Eddie Royal to a hip injury and rookie Kevin White to leg surgery. With Jeffery also out, running back Matt Forte is in for another busy day after rushing for 141 yards and a touchdown last week.
