michaelredd9 Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Brian Hoyer (arm) expected back in six weeks http://www.rotoworld.com/headlines/nfl/345842/brian-hoyer-(arm)-expected-back-in-six-weeks?ls=roto:CHI:topheadlines Brian Hoyer is expected to return in six weeks after undergoing surgery on his broken left forearm. Hoyer was initially expected to miss eight weeks, but CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora reports the surgery "went well." The improved timeline could keep Hoyer off injured reserve, but the Bears still need to decide what they are going to do at quarterback for the next month and a half. Matt Barkley struggled mightily against the Packers, and Jay Cutler is still dealing with a thumb injury, although he is well past his original 2-3 week timetable for return.

loaf Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 How many wins do they have? Are they expecting Cutler to stick around after this season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevegrab Posted October 24, 2016 Share Posted October 24, 2016 Sounds like Cutler should be about ready but they may not want to play him anymore. Never thought Hoyer would be much of an upgrade at QB for a team, or be that much better than a team's #3. Wrong on both counts I guess.

michaelredd9 Posted October 24, 2016 Author Share Posted October 24, 2016 Bears place Brian Hoyer on injured reserve http://www.rotoworld.com/headlines/nfl/345910/bears-place-brian-hoyer-on-injured-reserve?ls=roto:CHI:topheadlines Bears placed QB Brian Hoyer on injured reserve with a fractured forearm. Early-Monday reports that Hoyer would only miss six weeks as opposed to eight were billed as good news, but Hoyer's placement on I.R. knocks him out for eight weeks anyway. We'd be shocked to see Hoyer play again this season. Source: Adam Caplan on Twitter Oct 24 - 5:55 PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrab Posted October 25, 2016 Share Posted October 25, 2016 Heard last night on MNF that Cutler will start vs. Vikings this coming week. Had a feeling he'd be ready to go, or maybe was already ready to go but Fox was playing Hoyer to avoid a mutiny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a feeling he'd be ready to go, or maybe was already ready to go but Fox was playing Hoyer to avoid a mutiny. My guess is Fox told Cutler that he'd be the backup and then gave him the option to practice with the second team or act like he was still hurt. Cutler preferred to act hurt than practice as the backup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
