The Facts: A year later, Scheffler continues to be bothered by a left foot injury. ... Two NFL sources said Scheffler is wearing a boot on his foot and will be out four weeks after experiencing recurring soreness in the foot he broke during last year's passing camp.

Diehards Line:A second-round draft choice in 2006 and Jay Cutler's favorite target near the end of his rookie season, Scheffler underwent surgery to repair the break last May. He recovered in time for the team's season opener last year, but started slowly, not catching his first pass until the fifth game. He later admitted to dealing with soreness in the surgically repaired area throughout the season. Nonetheless, Scheffler was of the league's most productive tight ends in the final 12 games and finished with 49 catches for 549 yards and five touchdowns.
