The Chicago Bears don’t have to worry about Matt Barkley making his first NFL start against the Minnesota Vikings next Monday night. Instead, they’ll turn the ball back over to Jay Cutler, who has missed the past five games with a thumb injury, head coach John Fox announced today.
We can hear Bears fans now. Oh … yay.
Yes, the excitement level for the Bears is perhaps at the lowest it has been in some time, and while some of that is to blame for Chicago Cubs mania, it also is a direct reflection of the Bears’ 1-6 start and the constant injuries at quarterback.
