Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler expected to miss 2-3 weeks

Fox told reporters that the current belief was that Cutler did not need surgery to fix his thumb sprain but that could change.

Through two games, Cutler has completed 28 of 46 passes for 373 yards, one touchdown and one interception.

“We just got to do better”.

The Bears spent Tuesday licking their wounds following Monday night’s drubbing by the Eagles.

“I’m concerned”, Cutler said.

Trevathan wasn’t among the seven Bears players who exited Monday night’s game with injuries.

Additionally, running back Ka’Deem Carey (hamstring), defensive lineman Eddie Goldman (ankle), linebacker Danny Trevathan, Trevathan (thumb), safety Adrian Amos (concussion), cornerback Bryce Callahan (concussion) and safety Chris Prosinski (calf) didn’t participate in practice.

Maybe it is an easy thing to smooth over, but as a quarterback, you need the team to buy into you, and that is already in question with a tweet like this.

“Yeah, not there yet, because really these are the first reps that I’ve taken with Alshon, whether it’s one-on-ones, anything, really, ” Hoyer said.

“They think they know what it is, but until they get the MRI back, I don’t want to report something and they see something new on the MRI and we don’t have those results back yet”, Fox said.

After starting Week 2 with just one player on the injured list, the Chicago Bears are now faced with several players that are on the mend after their 29-14 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. “We had a good game plan”.

“I’ve always been of the belief that tough times don’t last, tough people do, and injuries are part of that”, Fox said.

“We don’t think it’s that long term”, Fox said. He injured it early in the game and aggravated it when he lost a fumble on a sack early in the second half. And while both of those teams are certainly among the worst in the league, Wentz has thrown for 468 yards, 3 TDs, and 0 INTs in his first two games becoming the first ever QB to win his first two starts without his team committing any turnovers.

Eagles rookie quarterback Carson Wentz is the talk of the football nation after two impressive starts to begin this season and his NFL career. The Bears are his fifth National Football League team in eight seasons. With the Houston Texans last season, Hoyer had a top wide receiver at his disposal in DeAndre Hopkins. I think a lot is made early on, trying to get things together. “That’s the biggest thing to stress”.
