LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Star receiver Alshon Jeffery was suspended Monday for four games without pay for violating the NFLs policy on performance-enhancing substances, the latest staggering blow for the reeling Chicago Bears.Jeffery posted on Twitter that he took a supplement for inflammation containing a substance banned by the league.I take full responsibility and Im deeply upset with myself for not doing the proper research on this supplement, he wrote. I want to apologize to my family, the Bears organization, my teammates, and Bears fans. I will work hard to earn back the respect and trust of the Bears nation and look forward to being back on the field.His suspension was another dose of bad news for a team that lost several players to injuries in an embarrassing 36-10 loss at Tampa Bay that left the Bears with a 2-7 record. Now, they will have to get by without arguably their best player, starting with Sundays game at the New York Giants.Obviously were very disappointed, coach John Fox said. I think hes fairly embarrassed about it, but well support him and welcome him when he gets back after serving his suspension.As if Jefferys punishment wasnt enough, it looks like the Bears will be without star right guard Kyle Long. The NFL Network reported Monday that he will miss the remainder of the season with an ankle injury.Jeffery will be eligible to be activated on Dec. 12 and play against Green Bay six days later. He leads the team with 630 yards receiving and is second with 40 catches.It (stinks) not having your top weapon on offense, tight end Zach Miller said. We have to figure out ways to be better, to do better collectively. But I dont think you really replace Alshon Jeffery that easily. Well have to do it as a group.Jeffery is playing for the $14.6 million franchise tag after he and the Bears were unable to agree to a long-term contract in the offseason. He was limited to nine games because of injuries a year ago, and now has a PED suspension hanging over him with his contract set to expire again.Fox said players found out during meetings on Monday.All teammates, I think, at the end of the day, theyre supportive, Fox said. But I know Alshons embarrassed by it and Im sure disappointed would be a good word for the rest of us.Fox mentioned a silver lining with receiver Marquess Wilson potentially returning soon from a foot injury. He has been on the physically unable to perform list since training camp. But his comeback would be small consolation, particularly given the rash of injuries the Bears suffered against the Buccaneers.Long, a three-time Pro Bowl lineman, left the field on a cart with a right ankle injury. Fox indicated after the game that it might be a high ankle sprain, though he said Monday a full determination on the injury had not been made. Ted Larsen figures to take his place in the lineup, though Eric Kush is a possibility.Fox had no update on running back Jordan Howard (ankle or Achilles tendon), nose tackle Eddie Goldman (ankle) or defensive lineman Will Sutton (ankle). Right tackle Bobby Massie also suffered a concussion.The loss to Tampa Bay also raised more questions about the direction of the franchise and wiped out any good vibes the Bears had after they knocked off NFC North leader Minnesota two weeks earlier.Jay Cutler threw two interceptions and fumbled twice after leading the Bears to a victory over the Vikings in his return from a sprained right thumb. It all added up to a big reality check for a team that was as confident as any with two wins halfway through the season could be.The Bears thought they might turn the corner with key players coming back from injuries. Instead, they crashed.I still feel like were not out of it, Miller said.Mathematically, theyre not.The Bears trail Detroit and Minnesota by three games and Green Bay by two in the division. The Vikings are struggling in a big way with four straight losses. So are the Packers, who have dropped three in a row.But with Jefferys suspension, the Bears will have to get by without one of their biggest playmakers.I guess the best word I could use would be unfortunate, defensive end Akiem Hicks said. Because I look forward to seeing 17 (Jeffery) out there going up deep and catching balls and making plays. Its unfortunate and Im going to miss him.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Vapormax Plus For Sale .

MANAUS, Brazil -- Carli Lloyd is in her element.Known for making the most of big moments, the FIFA Womens World Player of the Year has picked up right where she left off when she scored a hat trick in the World Cup final last summer.Lloyd has scored a goal in each of the U.S. teams first two matches to open the Olympics, helping the Americans advance to the quarterfinals. Theyll play one more opening stage match on Tuesday against Colombia for position heading into the knockout round.I havent had a ton of chances in these games, but the chances I have had, Ive been ready, Lloyd said. Ive spent the last four years in front of the net just hammering away and shooting. And just kind of becoming a sniper in front goal.The United States, ranked No. 1 in the world, is vying for its fourth straight gold medal and fifth overall in the six Olympics since the womens game was added to the Games. The only other team to win gold was Norway in 2000 in Sydney.The Rio Games is Lloyds third Olympics. The first two helped establish her clutch reputation.At Beijing in 2008, she scored in overtime for a 1-0 victory against Brazil in the final.She was benched before the 2012 London Games by then-coach Pia Sundhage, who liked the combination of Shannon Boxx and Lauren Holiday in the central midfielder position. The demotion didnt last long, however, because Boxx was injured in the opener.Lloyd started the rest of the way and scored both goals in the gold-medal match against Japan.Shes the only player to score winning goals in consecutive Olympic finals. With two goals in Brazil, shes also the only American player to score multiple goals in three Olympics.Lloyd has eight career Olympic goals, second among Americans to Abby Wambach, who collected 10 before her retirement last year. Overall, Lloyd has 90 career goals.Of course, Lloyd is best known for the World Cup final last year in Canadda when she scored three goals in the first 16 minutes of the final against Japan.dddddddddddd The United States won the game 5-2 for its third overall World Cup title.She has been able to find success in the big international tournaments because of her renowned focus and playmaking ability, but also because of her conditioning -- when other players are fatigued after the grind of several matches in a short period of time, Lloyd is still fresh.Lloyd was sidelined for some 10 weeks earlier this year after she sprained her right knee in late April during a match for her club team, the Houston Dash.But she has looked in peak condition in Brazil. She scored within the first nine minutes in a 2-0 victory over New Zealand in the opener, and then scored the lone goal in a 1-0 victory over third-ranked France.True to form, Lloyd was already looking ahead shortly after the win against France.The thing about this tournament is you cant dwell on anything too long, she said. Youve got to move on and focus on whats next.The matches Tuesday in Manaus, in the countrys Amazon region, are already sold out. The other is between host Brazil -- with superstar Marta -- and South Africa. Brazil has also advanced already to the quarterfinals, along with Canada.Colombia has already been eliminated. On Monday, coach Fabian Taborda said one of the teams top players, Catalina Usme, had an injured left knee. Lady Andrade and Carolina Arias are suffering exhaustion.Theres no way to know if Tabordas comments were simply gamesmanship.In the other matches on Tuesday: Australia plays Zimbabwe and New Zealand plays France in Salvador. Second-ranked Germany plays Canada and China plays Sweden in Brasilia. The Olympic tournament is being held in stadiums across the country.
