Notes
Chicago Bears WR Alshon Jeffery accepted an invitation to train with WR Brandon Marshall in South Florida at Fit Speed Athletic Performance, a training facility co-founded by Marshall and his longtime trainer. 'I just wanted to learn from someone different and do thing different,' Jeffery said Sunday, April 21. 'Plus, he's a Pro Bowl player. I want to see what it takes.' When he arrived at Fit Speed, Jeffery weighed in at 225 pounds with a body fat percentage of 11 or 12 percent. When he checked out a few weeks ago, Jeffery weighed 219 pounds with eight percent body fat.
Chicago Bears head coach Marc Trestman said he expects WR Alshon Jeffery to start for the team this coming season.

The Chicago Bears coaching staff is concerned WR Alshon Jeffery's play could be affected by three offensive pass interference penalties in Week 15. The team does not want Jeffery to change the way he plays. 'The thing I'm trying to make sure of is that it doesn't destroy him from a mental standpoint,' said receivers coach Darryl Drake. 'He's fragile right now but that's part of it ... Are you going to sit back and sulk or are you going to do something about it? You've still got to play the game physical so you can't give in on that. You have to turn it into something positive.'
