3. Injuries

Injuries have been a huge hobgoblin that have haunted the Bears since Training Camp.  Marquess Wilson suffered a broken collarbone that cost him at least half the season.  Charles Tillman’s arm injury knocked him out way too early.  Lance Briggs has been slow-cooking his ribs for a few weeks.  Brandon Marshall, although he didn’t miss any games, was hobbled for a few weeks.  Alshon Jeffery was limited with a hammy.  Add a broken hand for the already shaky Shea McClellin, high ankle sprains to Roberto Garza and Matt Slauson and then a torn pec for Slauson that will cost him the season and you’ve got a recipe for a rough first half of the season.
