TAMPA, Fla. — Bears wide receiver Alshon Jeffery will miss his sixth game of the season Sunday, this time because of a week-old hamstring injury.
Linebacker Shea McClellin will sit, too, after suffering concussion symptoms after last week’s loss to the Vikings.
Jeffery did not practice all week and was ruled doubtful — as was McClellin — on Friday.
Josh Bellamy will start for Jeffery, while Christian Jones — who was a healthy scratch last week — will play for McClellin.
Other Bears inactives include nickelback Bryce Callahan (quad), cornerback Jacoby Glenn, offensive linemen Nick Becton and Tayo Fabuluje, and defensive lineman Bruce Gaston.
Buccaneers safety Chris Conte, the former Bear, was ruled inactive because of a knee injury suffered a week ago Thursday. Wide receiver Vincent Jackson was among the others inactive for the home team.
