Alshon Jeffery trained at the Fit Speed Athletic Performance facility in Weston (FL) for six weeks this offseason, beginning in mid-February.
Jeffery had conditioning concerns coming out of South Carolina and got injured twice as a rookie, so it's a good sign that he's enjoying a diligent offseason. Jeffery showed up to the facility at 225 pounds with 11-12 percent body fat. He left at 219 with eight percent body fat. Jeffery will return to Fit Speed in mid-June for a second round of workouts before training camp. He's a 2013 breakout candidate. Apr 21 - 11:27 PM

Alshon Jeffery - WR - Bears

New coach Marc Trestman confirmed he expects Alshon Jeffery to be a starter.

Earl Bennett isn't a real threat and Devin Hester will strictly be used as a return man. That leaves Jeffery, whose rookie season was crippled by a fractured right hand and knee scope. But when healthy early in the year, Jeffery flashed playmaking ability as a seam-stretcher and red-zone threat. There's some upside here if Jeffery can make a leap this offseason.

Alshon Jeffery - WR - Bears

Brandon Marshall plans to take 2012 second-round pick Alshon Jeffery under his wing this offseason, training with Jeffery in South Florida.

"I'm excited because this kid has the potential to be an All-Pro one year," Marshall said. "If he just changes some little things, the way he approaches the game as far as physically and mentally, he's going to be a beast. Because he has that dog in him, he has that in him, that you want in a receiver." The Bears are desperate for a complementary receiver to emerge opposite Marshall.

Alshon Jeffery - WR - Bears

Alshon Jeffery caught four passes for 76 yards in Chicago's Week 17 win over the Lions.

Jeffery stretched the sideline on Chicago's first play from scrimmage, reeling in a 55-yard bomb that would go down as the Bears' longest play of the afternoon, as well as his longest play of the season. Jeffery's rookie campaign has been most notable for its injuries, but he's provided a viable seam-stretching alternative to No. 1 receiver Brandon Marshall on the rare occasions he's managed to take the field. Although he'll finish with just 24 catches for 367 yards and three touchdowns, Jeffery will be worth a late-round flier in most fantasy drafts next summer.

Alshon Jeffery - WR - Bears

Alshon Jeffery caught one pass for 35 yards in the Bears' Week 16 win over the Cardinals.

He was targeted four times. Jeffery made a big play down the sideline on his 35-yard catch, but continues to be underutilized in Chicago's Brandon Marshall-dominated offense. Jeffery has just two receptions over his last two games. The Bears will put on a bow on their regular season at Detroit in Week 17.

Alshon Jeffery - WR - Bears

Alshon Jeffery was held without a catch on four official targets versus the Packers in Week 15.

With the Packers clamping down on Brandon Marshall, Jeffery had an eventful second half while squaring off with CB Sam Shields. The rookie got wide open after throwing Shields to the ground by the facemask, but was overthrown by Jay Cutler. Jeffery did manage to draw a 53-yard pass interference penalty inside the 5-yard line, but was called for four penalties of his own including a pushoff on a would-be touchdown. His impact on the game was far greater than the boxscore indicates. Jeffery can't be trusted as a fantasy option at Arizona in Week 16.

Alshon Jeffery - WR - Bears

Alshon Jeffery caught three passes for 57 yards and a touchdown at Minnesota in Week 14.

Jeffery burned fellow-rookie Josh Robinson, who failed to get a jam at the line of scrimmage, for a 19-yard touchdown. His six targets were fifth on the team on a day when the Bears passed 53 times. Jeffery won't be a recommended flex option versus the Packers in Week 15.

Alshon Jeffery - WR - Bears

Alshon Jeffery (knee) practiced in full on Friday and is officially listed as probable for Week 14 in Minnesota.

Head coach Lovie Smith already confirmed that Jeffery would play, but we wouldn't expect anything more than a limited snap count. It's still a plus to have the rookie back to take some pressure off Brandon Marshall in the passing game.

Alshon Jeffery - WR - Bears

Bears coach Lovie Smith confirmed Friday that Alshon Jeffery (knee) will return in Week 14 against the Vikings.

Jeffery figures to be on a limited snap count in his first game back from in-season knee surgery. He could be a difference maker down the stretch for the Bears' one-dimensional pass offense, but Jeffery won't be a fantasy option.

Alshon Jeffery - WR - Bears

Alshon Jeffery (knee surgery) was limited again in Thursday's practice.

He's in a race with Devin Hester (concussion) for the starting job opposite Brandon Marshall with Earl Bennett (concussion) already declared out. Neither Jeffery nor Hester is a fantasy option for Week 14 at Minnesota.

Alshon Jeffery - WR - Bears

Alshon Jeffery (knee surgery) returned to Bears practice Wednesday, getting in a limited session.

Most signs point toward Jeffery returning against the Vikings, and starting opposite Brandon Marshall. Although it's welcome news for a Bears' passing attack that's struggled to generate ball movement in recent weeks, Jeffery will be an unideal plug-and-play WR3 for the first week of the fantasy playoffs considering he's appeared in just one game since Week 5.

Alshon Jeffery - WR - Bears

Multiple sources tell ESPN Chicago that Alshon Jeffery (knee) remains "on track" to return this week.

It's been two full weeks since Jeffery underwent a scope and was slapped with a 2-4 week timetable. He was able to do some light running last week and ran routes at half-speed during warmups ahead of Sunday's loss to the Seahawks. Even with Earl Bennett and Devin Hester down with concussions, the Bears say they aren't adding a wide receiver off the street. They expect Jeffery to start opposite Brandon Marshall Sunday.

Alshon Jeffery - WR - Bears

The Bears believe there's a "good chance" Alshon Jeffery (knee scope) will be able to return for Week 14.

Beat writer Mike C. Wright concedes it's "no slam dunk," but the team is cautiously optimistic. Jeffery took part in pre-game warmups ahead of Sunday's loss to the Seahawks and is able to run at near-full speed. The Bears could really use a second wideout to handle the receiving load behind Brandon Marshall.

Alshon Jeffery - WR - Bears

The Bears have confirmed Alshon Jeffery will be sidelined 2-4 weeks after undergoing a knee scope on Wednesday.

Coach Lovie Smith referred to it as a "minor" scope. With the Bears exceedingly thin at receiver, Jeffery should remain on the active roster, but it's possible he won't be ready to roll until Week 16 or 17. He's probably a wasted roster spot in 12-14 team redraft leagues. The ineffective duo of Devin Hester and Earl Bennett will resume rotating snaps opposite Brandon Marshall on Sunday.

Alshon Jeffery - WR - Bears

The Chicago-Sun Times reports Alshon Jeffery's Wednesday knee scope will be "minor," and likely sideline him 2-4 weeks.

That's the normal range for knee scopes, but it still puts Jeffery in danger of missing the entire fantasy playoffs. That, coupled with the fact that Jeffery has played just 26 snaps since Week 5 makes him an inessential hold in fantasy leagues. Devin Hester and Earl Bennett will be back to rotating snaps opposite Brandon Marshall in Week 12. It's bad news for the Bears' beleaguered offense. Chicago's offense has tough matchups with Minnesota and Seattle the next two weeks.
