Jay Cutler missed Week 3 at Dallas with a sprained thumb, but the Chicago Bears are not holding the starting quarterback job for him during what is expected to be a 2-3 week recovery.
"I don't think there are any givens. And that's no indictment on anybody," Bears head coach John Fox said when asked about Cutler returning as Chicago's starting quarterback. "This is a day-to-day, week-to-week, what-have-you-done-for-me-lately league, and so we're just trying to get the best 11 guys out there regardless of the position to where we can play a full 60 minutes and get a victory."
