Chicago Bears wide receiver Brandon Marshall has a rib injury and will not return Thursday night against the Dallas Cowboys. Marshall was injured in the second quarter when he was kneed in the back by safety Barry Church after catching a fourth-and-7 pass from quarterback Jay Cutler.

After the play, Marshall walked off under his own power and went to the locker room for evaluation. He was originally ruled as questionable to return, but was later taken to the hospital in an ambulance.
Before exiting, Marshall amassed three receptions for 61 yards to lead the team in receiving yards. He made this amazing one-handed grab for 42 yards earlier on the drive and appeared on his way to having a nice game. Martellus Bennett finished the drive with a touchdown reception from Cutler to move the game into a 7-7 tie late in the second quarter.
Any sustained loss to Marshall, though, will hamper the Bears’ chances of keeping pace with the high-powered offense of the Cowboys.
