Bears Wr Allen Heel To Miss 2nd Straight Game

Bears WR Allen (heel) to miss second straight game

Allen has been dealing with a heel injury since Week 1

**Wide receiver Velus Jones Jr.** will likely make his second consecutive start for the **Chicago Bears** on **Sunday against the New York Giants**. **Allen**, who has been dealing with a heel injury since **Week 1** against the **San Francisco 49ers**, did not practice on **Wednesday or Thursday**. He is officially listed as **doubtful** for **Sunday's game**. In **Allen's** absence, **Jones** has caught five passes for 74 yards and a touchdown. He also rushed for 24 yards on two carries. The **Bears** are hoping to get **Allen** back on the field soon. He is one of their most talented receivers and his absence has been noticeable. However, they are not going to rush him back before he is ready.

In the meantime, **Jones** will continue to get the bulk of the snaps at wide receiver. He is a talented player who has shown flashes of his potential. The **Bears** are hoping that he can continue to develop and become a consistent contributor.

The **Bears** are 1-1 on the season. They are coming off a **27-10** loss to the **Green Bay Packers** in **Week 2**. They will be looking to rebound against the **Giants** on **Sunday**.
