Beth Hoole was at Soldier Field for the Eagles’ Monday Night win over the Bears.

For Hoyer, there will be adjustments. Fox said that the injury is not season-ending and Trevathan will not be placed on injured reserve.
However, given that this has been an issue since his days at Vanderbilt, one has to wonder if Matthews will ever be able to solve the conundrum with dropped passes and take the giant leap forward to being the Eagles’ No. 1 wide receiver. Personally, I don’t think it’s about that time just yet. “He’s been exclusively with Jay”.
The two teams Scott is referring to is, of course, the Cleveland Browns and the Chicago Bears. He could have went into Towson University and got a harder challenge playing those teams. Asked when Cutler was injured, Fox said he “probably originally hurt his thumb five years ago”, when he had surgery to fix a fracture suffered while trying to tackle the Chargers’ Antoine Cason following an interception.
The Bears have neglected the quarterback pipeline for too many years, picking three backup defensive players (linebacker Nick Kwiatkoski, defensive backs Deon Bush and Deiondre’ Hall) in the fourth round this draft while Dak Prescott was still on the board. “No matter who your quarterback is, if you’re dropping back and throwing it 45 or 50 times, it’s usually not a great result”. They will nearly certainly be drafting in the top 10 of the 2017 NFL Draft next spring regardless of who is at quarterback. But just a stupid, dumb decision by Cutler in a critical moment of the game.
“In fact, per carry, really our stats aren’t bad, ” Fox said.
“It’s tough (to have so many injuries) but that’s part of the NFL”, Hoyer said after the game.
“I’m concerned”, Cutler, who was wearing a cast, said after Monday’s game. He missed only one start after suffering a hamstring injury – also, trying to tackle a defender after his interception – in Week 2 past year. Houston tore his ACL back in 2014, but returned to play a full 16 games last season, recording 42 tackles and eight sacks. Wentz’s most reliable receiver on the night was Touchdown Trey Burton - a third-year tight end making a spot start for an injured Zach Ertz - who doubled his career reception total with three catches, including his first National Football League touchdown on a nifty goal-line screen.

R.I.P. Chicago Bears 2016 season. “Everybody’s got a lot vested into this. That’s the biggest thing to stress”.
