Losing this week to a four-game suspension is a big blow to the Bears, but it's not the first time they've had to learn how to play without him.
The Bears went a respectable 3-3 in the six games that Jeffery missed due to injuries last season, thanks in part to some of the same receivers they'll count on again this year to pick up the slack.
In three wins that Jeffery missed last year over the Chiefs, Raiders and Buccaneers, Marquess Wilson (12 catches for 165 yards), Eddie Royal (12-75), Joshua Bellamy (8-41) and Cameron Meredith (4-52) combined to catch 36 passes for 333 yards.
