Next man up.

The Chicago Bears announced their injury report on Friday for Sunday's game against the Colts in Indianapolis.

Four players will be out of the game for the Bears, including veteran receiver Keenan Allen (heel), fullback Khari Blasingame (hand), running back Travis Homer (finger) and defensive tackle Zacch Pickens (groin).

Eberflus said that Allen is getting better but not ready to go yet.

"His heel [is] getting better," Eberflus said. "He's working back with the trainers. Speeds are getting better. Cutting, moving, all that's better.

"He'll be ready when he's ready; when his body tells him. We have a really good training staff, and those guys are trying to get him back as soon as possible. Keenan has been working diligently to get that done. He has been on the field. He has been moving and cutting. We'll see where it goes next week."

Bears right guard Nate Davis was listed as questionable with a groin injury.

For the Colts injury report, defensive end Laiatu Latu (hip) and receiver Michael Pittman (back/calf) are both listed as questionable.

Defensive tackle DeForest Buckner was listed as out of Sunday's game earlier in the week with his ankle injury.
