LAKE FOREST, Ill. (AP) – Chicago Bears coach Lovie Smith sounds optimistic that quarterback Jay Cutler will be back soon from his concussion, although he would not say just how severe the injury is.
Smith says Cutler was back at the practice facility Monday and was “feeling OK” after sitting out the second half of a 17-3 loss the previous night against the New York Giants.
Smith says the Bears started noticing symptoms after the second-to-last play of the second quarter, when Cutler’s head banged the turf while being taken down by Aaron Ross on the Giants’ ninth sack. The Bears then went with a run by Chester Taylor, and Todd Collins replaced Cutler to start the third quarter.
