Bears could lose Marquess Wilson to fractured foot for start of 2016 season

Sometimes it would be reasonable for Marquess Wilson to feel that if it weren’t for bad luck, he’d have no luck at all.
 
The fourth-year wide receiver left practice early on Tuesday after suffering what was confirmed Wednesday as a fractured foot — the same injury that landed him on injured reserve last December. The injury could cost him the start of the 2016 season — a situation that played out in 2014 when Wilson missed the first nine games of the season with a fractured clavicle suffered while diving for a pass in training camp.
 
The injury could land Wilson on the PUP (physically unable to perform) list to start the season, meaning missing at least the first six games.
 
“What exactly the extent as far as timetable coming back, we’ll keep you posted on that,” said coach John Fox. “Could be a possibility that he starts the season on PUP, but we won’t know those things yet from a timing aspect.”
 
Wilson, who had surgery on the foot after the injury last December, will have surgery on it this Monday.
