Thread: Jeffery exits game with hand injury

How he broke it I don't know, but it was on that TD play. I think it was said in the post-game presser or a public announcement after the xrays. I also don't know what was broken - I'm assuming it was a bone in the hand, not a finger.


Edit -

I found this link to a story at ESPN Chicago from Oct 8...

Chicago Bears receiver Alshon Jeffery suffered a fracture in his right hand during Sunday's 41-3 win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, a source familiar with the situation told ESPNChicago.com's Jeff Dickerson.


Jeffery suffered the injury while catching a touchdown pass, although the exact cause is unknown.
