Well, one name I have seen come up and someone I have said would not be a bad option in the post Palmer years I feel confident will no longer be an option. “If you take one day off, you take one rep off mentally and then that’s the play that gets called in the game, I mean, that’s when you’re going to slip off”. Cutler reportedly suffered ligament damage to his thumb during the season-opening loss at Houston.

Also missing practice Wednesday were nose tackle Eddie Goldman (ankle), running back Ka’Deem Carey (hamstring), safety Adrian Amos (concussion), cornerback Bryce Callahan (concussion) and safety Chris Prosinski (calf).
Chicago also lost outside linebacker Lamarr Houston to a potentially season-ending knee injury in the contest while inside linebacker Danny Trevathan injured a thumb that will require surgery.
Reports on how long Cutler’s out, how severe the injury is and how the Bears will address it – surgery? – varied. He has only completed 58.3 percent of his passes while averaging 7.2 yards per attempt.
“I couldn’t get as much on it as I wanted”, Cutler said about the interception. If you put it in perspective you’ll be able to go out there and just play good football and that’s the way Carson is.
“I like our roster, I like our choices and we’ll do everything we can to get everybody ready for Dallas”, Fox said.

Monday night was a rough night for the Bears, in more ways than one.
“I was on a team that 0-2 a year ago, too”, Hoyer said.
Cutler left the game in the third quarter with a right thumb injury, which may date back to the season opener.
“It’s hard for me to give timelines”, Fox said on Tuesday.
“It’s next man up”, Fox said.
A few things jump out here; Wentz was a flawless 8-for-8 against the blitz in the season opener against the Browns and for Scott to suggest that any college team could beat even the lowly Cleveland Browns is laughable.

Hoyer, who passed for 2,606 yards, 19 touchdowns and seven interceptions for the Texans a year ago, warned against writing off the Bears simply because they’re 0-2. I think that’s the main thing. That’s the biggest thing to stress is don’t panic, go out and have a great week of practice and go out there on Sunday night and improve and get better.
