EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. -- As expected, New York Jets cornerback Dee Milliner (ankle, quadriceps) was declared inactive Monday night against the Chicago Bears.

Milliner, who made his 2014 debut last week after missing the opener with a high-ankle sprain, was on track to face the Bears until last Friday. He developed tightness in his quadriceps, forcing him to sit. On Saturday, he was listed as doubtful on the official injury report.

Only 19 games into his career, the former first-round pick is gaining a reputation for being injury prone. This was his fifth missed game.

As reported earlier, wide receiver Eric Decker (hamstring) is active and will start for the Jets. The team made the decision after evaluating him in the pre-game.

Aside from Milliner, the Jets' inactives are wide receiver Walter Powell, linebacker IK Enemkpali, linebacker A.J. Edds, guard Dakota Dozier, tackle Ben Ijalana and nose tackle T.J. Barnes. Safety Josh Bush, who missed the first two games with a leg injury, will make his season debut. He could be involved in the sub packages as the Jets attempt to deal with the Bears' talented receivers.

As expected, wide receivers Brandon Marshall (ankle) and Alshon Jeffery (hamstring) are active for the Bears.

Chicago's inactives are cornerback Sherrick McManis, linebacker Shea McClellin, center Roberto Garza, guard Matt Slauson (ankle), defensive tackle Jeremiah Ratliff (concussion) and center Charles Leno.
