Bears QB Jay Cutler Cleared To Play, Expected To Start Sunday

After missing one game, Bears quarterback Jay Cutler will return Sunday to face the Detroit Lions at Soldier Field following a groin tear suffered Oct. 20. Team officials originally expected Cutler to be out four weeks and then be assessed week to week, but doctors cleared Cutler to play Thursday and he practiced without a problem.

''As soon as I got hurt, I felt like I'd be back quicker than they thought,'' Cutler said. ''I kind of had that mindset.''

SteveRobWhatever's Take: Cutler will be back under center and the stakes are high this week. A battle for first with the Lions at Soldier Field. This will be one of this week's marquee matchups and having Cutler back just adds to the storyline. It should be a fun one in Chicago this Sunday.

 

After watching mccown, cutler probably had a sense of urgency to get back on the field.

 

Now, the million dollar challenge will be for the offensive line to keep Suh and Fairley away from Cutler.
