Jay Cutler injury: Lovie Smith says Bears QB ‘looking good’ for Week 12
Chicago quarterback Jay Cutler will meet with an independent neurologist on Saturday, in hopes of being cleared to play in the Bears’ game Sunday against Minnesota. Cutler suffered the concussion in a November 11 loss to Houston.
Following Friday’s practice, Bears head coach Lovie Smith spoke about Cutler’s status. Here are his quotes, via the Chicago Sun-Times:
“He was able to do more today, than he did yesterday,” Smith said.“He’s looking good. ... It’s looking better.”
Cutler sustained the injury back on November 11 in the Bears 13-6 loss to Houston, and didn't play in Chicago's 32-7 loss last Monday at San Francisco. The injury happened when Texans' linebacker Tim Dobbins hit him in the head. Dobbins was fined $30,000 for the play.
Cutler is currently is listed as questionable on the Bears depth chart, and still needs to pass the final test in the NFL’s concussion protocol. If he is cleared by the neurologist, Cutler will play Sunday against Minnesota.
