LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) – The Chicago Bears can breathe a little easier knowing quarterback Jay Cutler suffered no major damage to his hamstring.
It’s still not clear when he will return to the field.
While coach John Fox said Monday that tests showed no major damage, Cutler’s status for this week and beyond remains in question. He would not say whether the Bears (0-2) would start Jimmy Clausen when they visit defending NFC champion Seattle (0-2) this weekend.
Asked about the chances of Cutler practicing Wednesday, Fox responded: “Is it going to be heads or tails on Sunday? I don’t know.”
Cutler was injured trying to make a tackle after getting intercepted in Sunday’s 48-23 loss to the Arizona Cardinals. Cutler walked to the locker room after getting stiff-armed trying to take down Tony Jefferson as he returned the pick 26 yards for a touchdown late in the first half. It was not immediately known which of his hamstrings was injured.
