Jeffery's return boosts passing game

arrived at Ford Field Sunday morning officially listed as questionable for the Bears' Week 6 game against the Lions. In casual terms, that meant there was a 50/50 chance Jeffery would suit up. The receiver had missed Chicago's last four games because of a hamstring injury, and it would take an evaluation after pregame warmups to determine if he felt well enough to play.

Team trainers and the receiver himself determined he was well enough to play, and Jeffery made his presence felt in his comeback. Suiting up for the first time since Sept. 13, Jeffery finished with eight receptions for 147 yards and a touchdown.
