Cutler may be without injured Jeffery
Finding a way to continue one of the most efficient stretches of Andrew QuarlessJerseyhis career could become more difficult for Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler because of another injury to wide receiver Alshon Jeffery. Jeffery has a streak of three straight games with 100 yards receiving. He suffered a groin injury in Wednesday's practice and on Thursday the Bears were left pondering whether their quarterback could continue to be as effective Sunday against St. Louis without his chief deep option. ''If he can't go, we'vehttp://www.packersshopnfl.com/WOMENS_YOUTH_BJ_RAJI_JERSEY.html had life without him and we'll figure it out with the guys we've got,'' Cutler said. Jeffery missed Thursday's practice, and another of Cutler's options, running back Matt Forte, continued practicing only on a limited basis with a knee injury. A calf injury kept Jeffery out of preseason and a hamstring injury knocked him out from Weeks 2 to 5. http://www.packersshopnfl.com/WOMENS_YOUTH_BART_STARR_JERSEY.htmlSince Jeffery returned against Detroit on Oct. 18, he has had games of eight catches for 147 yards against Detroit, 10 catches for 116 yards against Minnesota and 10 catches for 151 yards last week against San Diego. ''He just makes things easier,'' Cutler said. ''Whenever you have one-on-ones you know you have a guy that's going to win and that's kind of the world we've lived in the past three games - if we have one-on-one matchups more than likely the ball's going to head his way because we feel comfortable he's going to win.'' The Bears ran a more Bud Dupree Jerseyconservative offense when Jeffery sat out against Arizona, Seattle, Kansas City and Oakland. Jeffery's status could be a game-time decision. ''Well, most games I've known whether or not he's been up or down going into the game, so I've been able to prepare for it and we just kind of shift some things around, put some guys in different spots,'' Bears offensive coordinator Adam Gase said. ''I mean, you just adjust. That's what the NFL is. Nobody is going to feel sorry for you. ''So you figure out a way to move a few pieces around, try to figure out who's feeling it http://www.steelersnflofficialonline.com/Authentic-Bud-Dupree-Jerseythat day and find a way to get him the ball.'' Cutler has completed 75 of 114 for 909 yards with four touchdowns, two interceptions and a passer rating of 94.5 since Jeffery returned from his hamstring injury. Jeffery's contract expires after this season and concerns over his history of injuries have to be weighed before signing him.
