Brandon Marshall (hip surgery) is not participating in this week's OTAs, as expected.
Marshall underwent a scope in January and is not quite at 100 percent yet. Although it's his third procedure on the troublesome joint, no one around the Bears appears concerned. Marshall has missed just five games in his seven-year career and is coming off a sparkling 118/1508/11 campaign. May 15 - 9:17 AM

Brandon Marshall (hip surgery) has resumed running on a field.

Marshall underwent a scope on his troublesome hip back on Jan. 15. The typical recovery timetable is 6-7 weeks, but he said he'll take double that time because it's the offseason. Marshall should be 100 percent long before training camp and has an up arrow next to his name thanks to the arrival of offensive-minded head coach Marc Trestman.

Brandon Marshall (hip) said he "hopes" to begin running in five weeks.

Marshall is currently sporting crutches, but he plans to shed those in a couple weeks. "I got some clean up done and rehab is going good right now," he said. "I'll be up and running in a couple weeks. It's a surgery I've had done before and I'll be fine." Marshall underwent surgery two weeks ago and should be ready for OTAs.

Brandon Marshall downplayed his latest hip injury Wednesday.

Marshall did confirm that he underwent an arthroscopic procedure on Tuesday night. "Just a little clean up," he said. It's only a concern because Marshall had two surgeries on his hip previously. He'll sit out the Pro Bowl, so the next look we'll get at him will be during OTAs.

Brandon Marshall will reportedly undergo offseason arthroscopic surgery on his hip.

It's believed to be a minor procedure, but it's still a concern due to Marshall's history. He underwent hip procedures during the offseasons of 2009 and 2010, robbing him of explosiveness in 2011. This is now Marshall's third hip surgery in the past five years. We will be sure to keep a closer eye on his practice reports during OTAs, as he's not expected to be sidelined longer than a month.

Brandon Marshall caught just five passes for 42 yards in Chicago's Week 17 win over the Lions.

It was a drop-fest for Chicago's No. 1 receiver, who could corral just 5-of-14 targets from Jay Cutler. Marshall and Cutler were never in sync in the Bears' biggest game of the season. However, Marshall mercifully avoided serious injury on a second-half foot tweak, and didn't let his frustrations with a sub-par afternoon boil over the way he might have in the past. Marshall finishes his first year in the Windy City with a sparkling 118/1,508/11 line. All three totals are new career highs, the first two by fairly significant margins. He's locked in as a WR1 for 2013 after drawing a mammoth 192 targets this season.

Brandon Marshall caught six balls for 68 yards and a touchdown in the Bears' Week 16 win over the Cardinals.

He was targeted 14 times, per usual. Patrick Peterson effectively kept Marshall off his game with press coverage at the line early in the contest, but Marshall got free for a touchdown in Peterson's coverage, when Peterson was anticipating safety help. Had Marshall not scored, we would've given Peterson the "win" in the one-on-one matchup. Marshall, staying hot as the No. 1 receiver in all of fantasy, will face the Lions' weak secondary in Week 17.

Brandon Marshall (hamstring) is listed as probable for Week 16.

Marshall continued to practice on Friday after being limited in Thursday's workout with the hamstring twinge. He's going to start Sunday at Arizona.

Brandon Marshall was added to the Bears' injury report with a hamstring issue Thursday, getting in a limited practice.

Marshall was absent from Wednesday's injury report. Although it's never a good sign when a player is added to the injury report mid-week, ESPN Chicago reports it's "nothing serious" for Marshall. Start him as you normally would against Patrick Peterson and the Cardinals.

Brandon Marshall - WR - Bears

Brandon Marshall hauled in six of seven targets for 56 yards and a touchdown in Week 15 versus the Packers.

Marshall entered beast mode on his 15-yard touchdown, stiff-arming Packers CB Casey Heyward into the dirt and breaking a tackle. He was shut down the rest of the way, however, forcing Jay Cutler to turn to Alshon Jeffery as his go-to receiver in key situations late in the game. The only receiver with 100-catch seasons in two different uniforms, Marshall already has career-highs in receptions (107), yards (1,398), and touchdowns (10) this season. He draws Patrick Peterson and the Cardinals' stiff pass defense in Week 16.

Brandon Marshall hauled in 10 passes for 160 yards and a touchdown on a whopping 19 targets at Minnesota in Week 14.

He was simply unstoppable. The Vikings had tight coverage throughout the game, but Jay Cutler continued to target his go-to receiver relentlessly. Marshall made catch after catch in traffic, highlighted by a 43-yard jumpball in double coverage. His 16-yard touchdown came in garbage time, with under two minutes left in the game. Marshall broke Marty Booker's franchise single-season record with 101 receptions. He gets a Week 15 rematch with the only team (Packers) to shut him down this season.

Jay Cutler says the Bears' passing game will continue to run through Brandon Marshall.

This isn't ground-breaking news by any means, but it's re-assurance that Marshall remains a top-five receiver for the fantasy playoffs. Cutler has targeted Marshall 138 times this season, which is good for third-most in the NFL behind just Reggie Wayne (153) and Calvin Johnson (144). "We're going to try to find ways to get him the ball and get him involved as much and as early as possible," said Cutler.

Brandon Marshall was held out of Wednesday's practice for rest purposes.

Marshall has been banged up for a few weeks, but hasn't come close to missing a game. Coming off a 10-catch, 165-yard effort against the Seahawks' elite secondary, Marshall will be a top-five option for Week 14.

Brandon Marshall - WR - Bears

Brandon Marshall caught ten passes for 165 yards in the Bears' Week 12 loss to the Seahawks.

Through 12 games, Marshall is now on pace for 114 receptions, 1,478 yards, and ten touchdowns. The catch and yardage totals would both be career highs. Marshall was again the centerpiece of Chicago's offense in Week 13 as Seattle failed to adjust to his movements all over the formation, instead simply keeping their defensive backs at "home." Marshall throttled the Vikings for 12 grabs in Week 11, and he'll face them again in Week 13.
