The Chicago Bears head to the Big Apple to play the New York Jets on tonight football, but the status of their top wide receiver duo of Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery will be in doubt again. Both of their top receivers are listed as Questionable on the team’s final injury report of the week.
The Chicago Bears announced Saturday they'd face the New York Jets on Monday night without center Roberto Garza (ankle), left guard Matt Slauson (ankle), cornerback Sherrick McManis (quadriceps), defensive tackle Jeremiah Ratliff (concussion) and linebacker Shea McClellin (hand).
The club held out all five players for Saturday's workout. Receivers Brandon Marshall (ankle) and Alshon Jeffery (hamstring) participated in a limited capacity, and are officially listed as questionable. Both are expected to play against the Jets.

Jeffery gutted it out with a bad hamstring and clearly labored running, but still managed a few catches and also a couple of pass interference penalties. Marshall turned in a great performance with three touchdown catches including one of the best catches you’ll see for a score.
In other injury news, the club officially listed defensive end Jared Allen (back), safety Chris Conte (shoulder) and receiver Josh Morgan(groin) as probable. Defensive end Trevor Scott (foot) is doubtful.
It was expected that Garza and Slauson would miss Monday's game after sitting out last week's win against the San Francisco 49ers, with Brian de la Puente and Michael Ola serving as their replacements. But the unavailability of Ratliff and McClellin forces the Bears to reshuffle the lineup for the starting defense.

With Ratliff out of the defensive line rotation, the Bears will lean more heavily on rookies Ego Ferguson and Will Sutton.
McClellin's expected absence means Jonathan Bostic will start at strong side linebacker.
McClellin participated on a limited basis on Thursday, but suffered a hand injury at practice that kept him out of action on Friday and Saturday.
