Martellus Bennett dealing with ribs injury on short week

LAKE FOREST, Ill. – Bears coach John Fox said tight end Martellus Bennett injured his ribs in Sunday’s 17-15 loss to Denver.

Bennett finished the Broncos game with just two receptions for 26 yards on six targets.

The former Pro Bowl tight end drew an important pass-interference penalty on Chicago’s last drive, but Bennett also appeared to run a pass-route on the failed two-point conversion attempt, even though Jay Cutler called for a running play to Jeremy Langford.
