It's seemingly a battle of attrition for Chicago Bears wide receives thus far this young NFL season. Both Cameron Meredith and Kevin White have already been lost for the year to injury.
Now, free agent signing Markus Wheaton, will have to sit out Week 2's game against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers with a broken finger. This means Kendall Wright and Deonte Thompson will be the team's starting receivers with Josh Bellamy likely acting as the No. 3.
More than anything, this seems to suggest that rookie running back Tarik Cohen will continue to be heavily involved in the passing game. He caught eight passes on 12 targets last week against Atlanta.
