8pm - B. Marshall [Q] & A. Jeffery [Q] - WRs, CHI (1 Viewer)

[Maurile Tremblay]

A thread for news.

 

[BustedKnuckles]

A source informed ESPN's Adam Schefter that both Alshon Jeffery (hamstring) and Brandon Marshall (ankle) are "75 percent" certain to miss Sunday Night Football against the 49ers.

They're both likely to be game-time decisions. Jeffery got in a limited practice Friday, while Marshall missed the entire work week. If neither can go, Santonio Holmes will fill the No. 1 receiver hole for Jay Cutler and become an intriguing WR3 option. Martellus Bennett and Matt Forte would also play expanded roles.

Chicago WR Brandon Marshall (ankle) is probable & WR Alshon Jeffery (hamstring) is questionable today versus San Francisco.
an hour ago SportsBlogNewYork @sportblognycBears receivers Brandon Marshall & Alshon Jeffery are both most likely out for tonight's game

FWIW

Jeff Haseley @JeffHaseley


Disagree. I think BMarsh plays RT @NFLInjuryNws: 75% chance both Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery both don't play tonight, per Schefter

 

[matuski]

So these twitter posts are nothing more than opinions. Otherwise sources are contradicting each other. Clear as mud.

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

Why do people think Marshall might play?

 

[Leeroy Jenkins]

Did Marshall continue to play in the ankle after injury and if so how did he do after that point last week?

 

[IHEARTFF]

I like how Marshall is both probable and likely out.

 

[Phenomena]

Why do people think Marshall might play?

Because he finished the game on it and spent his off-days this week flying around the country doing promos?

I think he plays.

 

[IheartGuinness]

I think he's more likely to play than Jeffrey. He doesn't miss many games, so I could see him taping the hell out of that ankle, getting a shot of something wonderful, and just going for it. Of course, then there's the question of how effective he'd be....

I moved him into my flex spot for now. I'll be in a holding pattern until the later afternoon games today. Maybe more news will come out by then.

 

[Widbil83]

Any Marshall updates?

 

[cantstop1999]

Anything new ?? I must make a decision by 4:25

 

[justinl]

Bleh, my only option is Mike Evans at 4:25. And CBS had an article saying these two are unlikely. Opponent has AJ, so I guess it'll be safe to roll w/ Evans.

 

[ConnSKINS26]

I put him in, had to choose before Woodhead starts at 4:05.

Hope he plays.

 

[cantstop1999]

I have to go with Boykin if he's out, but running out of time.

 

[Widbil83]

Going done with the ship with Marshall I guess.

 

[cantstop1999]

Anyone at the game see if he's out there dressed ?

 

[Zow]

Biggs, a beat writer for the Bears, believes at least one WR will play. Doesn't proffer who though.

It really looks like Marshall is going to play but that he'll only be a decoy.

 

[godgers12]

have a chance to throw Ertz in at a 2nd flex for Marshall, no brainer right?

 

[flapgreen]

Both guys saying they're playing.

 

[3 hour lunch]

Bears receivers Brandon Marshall (ankle) and Alshon Jeffery (hamstring) are both active for Sunday night's game in San Francisco. Both were listed as questionable, and most reports indicated at least one of them would sit out.

 

[Dez]

75% out my ### I hate reports like that causing you to sit those guys at 1 PM

 

[FlapJacks]

What can we expect?

(not that anybody cares, but) I can plug in Maclin...

 

[PinkydaPimp]

75% out my ### I hate reports like that causing you to sit those guys at 1 PM

I like reports like that which allow me to prepare for the worse earlier in the day.

 

[ConnSKINS26]

Jeffery owners who never even considered starting him will be pissed if he puts up a big game.

Guess if a guy's not doubtful...

 

[irishnips]

Do I play Marshall or Wayne tomorrow night? Thought it was an easy decision earlier.

 

[Acrobat7]

Do I play Marshall or Wayne tomorrow night? Thought it was an easy decision earlier.

I'd still play Wayne. Who knows how healthy Marshall is and I wouldn't want to start a decoy.

 

[ConnSKINS26]

Do I play Marshall or Wayne tomorrow night? Thought it was an easy decision earlier.

I'd still play Wayne. Who knows how healthy Marshall is and I wouldn't want to start a decoy.

Yeah, if I had a safer option like Wayne I wouldn't be playing Marshall.

[ConnSKINS26]

Do you guys not know how percentages work?

 

[domvin]

Man...debating healthy crabtree or dinged up Marshall?

Any thoughts brothers?

Down by 3, he has foles, and I still have cutler....

 

[irishnips]

I'd go Crabtree against a terrible defense.

 

[Manster]

Looks like they're both playing. I'm putting marshall in one league.....I picked up holmes this morning so I could plug him in till I knew.

In another league I'm putting Jeffery in for A.Bradshaw........I need the points in both leagues. Im not gonna overthink it.

 

[tim_whatley]

I've got Jeffrey or Boldin. Ugh.

 

[ahartig]

Marshall or T-rich are my options. No brainer I'd say

 

[Gawain]

I've got Jeffrey or Boldin. Ugh.

I used Colston instead of Marshall, so just remember it could be worse.

 

[Chicago Hooligan]

Do you guys not know how percentages work?

Of course. It's 50/50. Either it happens, or it doesn't.

 

[Kwai Chang Caine]

I've got Jeffrey or Boldin. Ugh.

Damn me too!

 

[cantstop1999]

Jeffery is active

 

[cantstop1999]

Bears | Alshon Jeffery active Sun Sep 14, 07:06 PM

Chicago Bears WR Alshon Jeffery (hamstring) is active for the Week 2 game against the San Francisco 49ers.

Footballguys view: Jeffery seemed even more questionable than Marshall, so he is the riskier play of the two. Still, it is probably better to play him than a low confidence option like Stevie Johnson, Trent Richardson, or even Carlos Hyde.

 

[cantstop1999]

Bears | Brandon Marshall active Sun Sep 14, 06:44 PM

Chicago Bears WR Brandon Marshall (ankle) will be active for the Week 2 game against the San Francisco 49ers.

Footballguys view: Apparently Alshon Jeffery will also play. There is still risk of limited effectiveness or re-injury, but if you waited for either Bears receiver, looks like you can plug them in.

25%of the time he is right.

 

[Waverunner]

I have Gore and Marshall. I will sit Marshall but it scares me

 

[dickey moe]

Thanks a million, Schefter.

 

[nittanylion]

I'm holding a lead, he's got Vinatieri, and it would take a substantial night for him to beat me, but I'm plugging in Bradshaw over Marshall to at least feel good about keeping some cushion.

I'm a #####.

 

[irish eyes]

Insiders really, I effing sit Marshall.. I will never look at that garbage again. Oh neither wr going to play.. really And both are playing...pathetic
