Lake Forest, IL (SportsNetwork.com) – Chicago Bears coach Marc Trestman said Monday that quarterback Jay Cutler will miss this Sunday’s game at St. Louis.<\/p>\n
Cutler sat out Chicago’s 23-20 overtime win against the Baltimore Ravens on Sunday due to a high ankle sprain he suffered in Week 10 against the Detroit Lions.<\/p>\n
His progress will be updated on a week-to-week basis and Josh McCown will make his second straight start.<\/p>\n
Cutler left Chicago’s 45-41 loss against the Washington Redskins in Week 7 with a torn muscle in his groin and returned to action against Detroit three weeks later before exiting with the ankle injury.<\/p>\n
McCown, who has made two starts and two relief appearances this season in place of Cutler, has completed 61-of-101 passes for 754 yards with five touchdowns and no interceptions.<\/p>\n
The Bears are 2-0 in McCown’s starts, but Cutler will return to the starting role when healthy.<\/p>\n
“Jay is the quarterback of our football team and Josh is our backup, and all three of us know that,” Trestman said Monday.<\/p>\n
Trestman also said linebacker Lance Briggs is still a couple of weeks away from returning to action after suffering a fractured shoulder against Washington. Briggs has played in seven games this season, recording 64 tackles with two sacks and two forced fumbles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
