Marshall, Jeffrey active for Bears; Decker up for Jets

Published February 05, 2015

East Rutherford, NJ (SportsNetwork.com) - The Chicago Bears will have wide receivers Brandon Marshall and Alshon Jeffery available for Monday night's matchup with the New York Jets.

Both players were listed as questionable for the Week 3 finale but practiced on a limited basis on Saturday. Marshall is dealing with a mild ankle sprain, while Jeffery is battling a hamstring injury.

Marshall and Jeffery were also termed questionable for Chicago's Week 2 clash at San Francisco. Each played in the game, however, with Marshall catching three touchdown passes from Jay Cutler in the Bears' 28-20 win.

The Jets will have one of their top targets for Monday's tilt as well, with wide receiver Eric Decker among the team's actives.

Decker, New York's leader with nine catches and 137 receiving yards through the first two weeks, also was questionable due to a hamstring strain.

As expected, cornerback Dee Milliner will not play for the Jets on Monday as he deals with a high ankle sprain.

The Bears will be without center Roberto Garza and guard Matt Slauson for a second straight week. Both are sidelined with ankle injuries.
