Alshon Jeffery returns to Bears practice

Alshon Jeffery - WR - Chicago Bears

Dec. 5, 2012 - 6:05 PM ET

Alshon Jeffery (knee surgery) returned to Bears practice Wednesday, getting in a limited session.

Most signs point toward Jeffery returning against the Vikings, and starting opposite Brandon Marshall. Although it's welcome news for a Bears' passing attack that's struggled to generate ball movement in recent weeks, Jeffery will be an unideal plug-and-play WR3 for the first week of the fantasy playoffs considering he's appeared in just one game since Week 5.
