Bears' Alshon Jeffery, Eddie Royal Out Against Chiefs

(CBS) As expected, Bears quarterback Jay Cutler will play Sunday against the Chiefs as he continues to deal with a hamstring injury, but he'll be without two of his top targets.

Receivers Alshon Jeffery (hamstring) and Eddie Royal (ankle) are inactive. It will be the fourth straight game that Jeffery misses.

Safety Antrel Rolle (ankle) is also out after being injured last week against the Raiders. Harold Jones-Quartey will start in his place.

Other inactives for the Bears are quarterback David Fales, left tackle Jermon Bushrod (concussion), offensive lineman Patrick Omameh and defensive lineman Will Sutton (elbow).

Hroniss Grasu will see the first action of his NFL career when he gets the start at center, with the Bears opting to keep left guard Matt Slauson in his natural position after he shifted over to center last week when Will Montgomery suffered a season-ending injury.
