The Chicago Bears are not one of the better teams in the NFL right now with a 2-7 record and they need all the help they can get, but the league is definitely not going to help them out. In fact, the league has handed down a suspension for its best receiver in Alshon Jeffery.
Bears WR Alshon Jeffery suspended four games for violating its PED policy.

WR Alshon Jeffery’s suspension begins immediately; eligible to return to Bears on Monday, December 12 after December 11 game vs. Lions.

Bears WR Alshon Jeffery's 4-game suspension will cost him $3.435 million this season - and more in offseason, when he becomes a free agent.

That leaves Eddie Royal and Deonte Thompson as the main weapons for the Bears and that does not bode well for a team still starting Jay Cutler as its quarterback.
