Bears receiver Alshon Jeffery has dealt with a calf strain for the past two weeks and missed the first preseason game against the Miami Dolphins. Jeffery will be sidelined for the second consecutive preseason game against the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday.
#Bears officially say that WR Alshon Jeffery won't play, but that's not a surprise.

Jeffery is no longer in a walking boot, but there’s no indication when the veteran receiver will return to the field.
#Bears WR Alshon Jeffery (calf strain) out on the field just hanging with his teammates. Again, no boot or anything.

Other Bears inactives include corner Tracey Porter, tight end Chris Pantale and offensive tackle Jason Weaver. But Bears fans will be able to see linebackers Willie Young and Lamarr Houston for the first time on Saturday.
