LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Bears coach John Fox would not guarantee that Jay Cutler will be the team's starting quarterback when Cutler receives the necessary medical clearance to return from a right thumb sprain.
"I don't think there are any givens. And that's no indictment on anybody," Fox said when asked directly about Cutler.
"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."
Cutler was inactive in Week 3 after he sustained thumb damage on his throwing hand in losses to Houston and Philadelphia.
