Injured Alshon Jeffery not in pads at Bears training camp

By Dan Cahill

Maybe the Bears need Brandon Marshall back, after all.

First, rookie wide receiver Kevin White went down with a shin injury and was placed on the PUP list to start camp. Now, top receiver Alshon Jeffery is not in pads Monday after suffering a shoulder injury in Sunday’s practice.

Jeffery, who had 85 catches for 1,113 yards and 10 TDs last season, said he was fine on Sunday.

WR Alshon Jeffery not practicing with the #Bears at the moment. Had minor shoulder injury yesterday. He also said he was fine yesterday too.

Sounds like quarterback Jay Cutler is getting along without two of his top receivers, though.

Cutler’s comfort level/familiarity with Eddie Royal is obvious. Still a trusted target in all field-position situations. #Bears

However, the Bears had another scare when Royal left the field early Monday morning, but he quickly returned.

#Bears WR Eddie Royal leaves practice. Jogged over to a cart and was driven away. Coach John Fox will update later.
