Bears' Markus Wheaton suffers broken finger

Markus Wheaton just can't escape the injury bug.

The Chicago Bears receiver suffered a broken finger in practice Sunday, head coach John Fox revealed to Rich Campbell of the Chicago Tribune. Fox didn't have a time frame the injury would sideline Wheaton for.

"He's a great kid," Fox said. "He works really hard. He's a great teammate. He does have downfield speed that we saw earlier in the offseason, and hopefully we get to see it here pretty soon."

Wheaton came to the Bears this offseason from the Pittsburgh Steelers, where his 2016 campaign was cut short due to a shoulder injury. The wideout had just returned to the field for the Bears in late July after undergoing an appendectomy.
