LAKE FOREST, Ill. – Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler is still officially classified as “day to day,” but he did not practice on Wednesday because of a right thumb sprain that could sideline him for Chicago’s next game, versus the Dallas Cowboys.
The only update coach John Fox provided on Cutler is that “he iced [the thumb]” over the last 48 hours.
Veteran backup Brian Hoyer took the first-team reps in advance of Sunday night’s matchup at AT&T Stadium.
