This marks the third straight practice that Jeffery was listed as "limited," and he will have a "questionable" designation on the team's injury report for Sunday's showdown with the Green Bay Packers. Jeffery had missed the majority of the Bears' summer activities with a hamstring injury, but appears likely to suit up for Week 1.
Fantasy Spin: Fantasy owners will need to keep an eye out for when teams announce inactives on Sunday, but Jeffery won’t likely be among them. Three straight practices, even at a limited capacity, bodes well for the No. 1 receiver’s availability, and the team will likely do whatever possible to ensure his status against a formidable, division rival.
As long as Jeffery is on the field, fantasy owners ought to be comfortable starting him in his usual WR1 slot.
