There’s a good chance that Eagles cornerback Leodis McKelvin may not play. McKelvin has been held out of practice all week with a hamstring injury. This should be an ideal situation for Bears wide receiver Alshon Jeffery. In Week 1, Jeffery exploded out of the gate with over 100 receiving yards in the first half against the Houston Texans, and could have a similar start on Monday night. The only question mark is the Bears’ offensive line. Chicago’s front five is still trying to gel, and could still present a problem for Jay Cutler and the passing game. Look for the Bears’ running backs and tight ends to be used as safety valves in the event of breakdowns in pass protection.

Advantage: Bears
