Keenan Allen out again for Bears due to heel injury

Keenan Allen, a six-time Pro Bowler, has been ruled out for the second consecutive week due to a persistent heel injury. The Chicago Bears will not have him available for their upcoming game against the Indianapolis Colts, as he will not travel with the team. Coach Matt Eberflus noted that while Allen's condition is improving, he is also dealing with a personal matter that may affect his return to the field. Allen, who was acquired from the Los Angeles Chargers during the offseason, had a promising start to the season with four receptions in the Bears' opening win against Tennessee. However, his absence was felt in the following week's loss to Houston, where the team struggled offensively. The Bears' revamped offense has been underperforming, ranking near the bottom of the NFL after two games. Caleb Williams, the Bears' No. 1 draft pick and former Heisman Trophy winner, is facing challenges as he adjusts to the professional level. With only 267 passing yards and a completion percentage of 56.1, he has yet to throw a touchdown pass and has been sacked nine times, the highest in the league. The Bears are also dealing with other injury concerns, including guard Nate Davis, who is questionable for the game. Running back Travis Homer has undergone surgery for a finger injury and will be placed on injured reserve. The team is hoping to improve their performance as they navigate these challenges in the early part of the season.
