Former Louisville wide receiver Joshua Bellamy has been quietly shining for the Chicago Bears, but you haven’t heard about it because it’s been on special-teams. However, the Bears’ receiving core is slowing fading, which is giving Bellamy opportunities to play wide-out during an actual game.

Chicago’s main receiver Alshon Jeffery is suspended because of his use of PED’s and they also have one other receiver that is hurt. If Eddie Royal misses the game against Tennessee, then Bellamy could get more looks on Sunday.

Let me be clear, it’s not like he is going to be the Bears’ new leading receiver, but he will get more playing time against the Titans for sure.

Although who knows, maybe he will be able to get his first touchdown of the season against the Titans?
