LAKE FOREST, Ill.
David Silva Jersey . -- The Chicago Bears
were already losing games. Now theyre going to be without their most important
players on both sides of the ball. Injured quarterback Jay Cutler will miss at
least the next four weeks of the season and Pro Bowl linebacker Lance Briggs
will be out for around six weeks, staggering blows for a struggling team. The
Bears announced the news Monday, a day after Cutler suffered a muscle tear in
his groin during a 45-41 loss to the Washington Redskins, forcing the Bears to
go with veteran Josh McCown. Briggs left the game with a small fracture in his
left shoulder. Neither player will need surgery. "Theyre not done," coach Marc
Trestman said. "Theyre going to be back (this season)." Pro Bowl cornerback
Charles Tillman also left the game with a knee injury as Chicago (4-3) lost for
the third time in four games. The Bears are off this week, but with the injuries
mounting, their season could be slipping away from them. The defence has been
hit particularly hard in recent weeks, and with Cutler out, itll be veteran
McCown lining up behind centre as they try to keep up with Green Bay and Detroit
in the NFC North. Cutler came up clutching the top of his left leg following a
sack by 333-pound nose tackle Chris Baker with about 10 minutes left in the
first half. He stayed down for a few minutes and eventually limped off the
field. "They said this is a minimum four weeks and then well evaluate it week to
week," Trestman said. "Based on the history -- I talked to the doctors this
morning -- of this injury, four weeks is a reasonable start and that it would be
week to week." The Bears insisted Cutler will return this season. "Unless theres
a complication during his rehab, with the injury that he has that Im certain
hell be back at some point," general manager Phil Emery said. Where Cutler will
be next season remains to be seen, given his expiring contract. Its the second
time in three years that he will miss a significant chunk of time, after
suffering a season-ending injury in 2011. Emery said he doesnt see a pattern. As
for how this injury will impact contract negotiations with Cutler after the
season, he wouldnt discuss that. "Theres no reason to because its not the
here-and-now," Emery said. The here-and-now has the Bears forced to go with
McCown, hoping he can at least keep them afloat while Cutler recuperates. He
entered Sundays game at Washington in the second quarter, seeing his first game
action since the 2011 season. He completed 14 of 20 passes for 204 yards,
including a 7-yard touchdown pass to Martellus Bennett that gave his team a
41-38 lead with 3:57 to play. McCown looked understandably rusty in his first
few plays, but he did put Chicago in position to win the shootout with the
Redskins. The Bears will need more of the same if theyre going to have a chance
of winning their next game at Green Bay on a Monday night following the bye, not
to mention beating Detroit the following week. They didnt fare well the last
time they went an extended period without Cutler. After he broke his thumb two
years ago, the Bears dropped five of six following a 7-3 start in a collapse
that cost general manager Jerry Angelo his job. Back then, Caleb Hanie struggled
in a big way. The Bears then turned to McCown, who had been coaching high school
football in North Carolina, late in the season. They have more weapons now with
Brandon Marshall, Alshon Jeffery and Bennett, not to mention a rebuilt offensive
line and a system thats geared more to quick, high-percentage passes than what
they were running under Mike Martz. "Especially in this league where the
quarterback drives the ship, I dont know if youre ever ready to handle losing
your starting quarterback," McCown said. "But I think the structure is in place
and the emphasis has been put on individuals to do their job and do their part.
If we continue to get that, and we felt like we got that yesterday, it allows
the quarterback to step in there, whether its Jay or myself, to function and
play, because guys are going to be coached to be where they are supposed to be
and do what theyre supposed to do." With Cutler out, Chicago is bringing in
Jordan Palmer to back up McCown. The Bears were one injury away from having
receiver Earl Bennett line up behind centre because they only carry two
quarterbacks. Emery said that wont change. He also said the Bears are looking to
bring in a veteran with Briggs injured. And just for the record, Brian Urlacher
is not a candidate. Emery shot down that idea, pointing out that the former star
middle linebacker filed his retirement papers before the season and received his
termination pay. He also said the Bears wont make a trade simply because of the
injuries, even though they have some big holes to fill. They lost defensive
tackle Henry Melton, his replacement, Nate Collins, and middle linebacker
D.J. Williams to season-ending knee injuries. With Briggs out, rookie Jon Bostic
or veteran James Anderson figure to call plays and rookie Khaseem Greene will
likely get more playing time. "Weve worked trades here the last couple of weeks,
we just havent found the correct combination of value and player exchange,"
Emery said. NOTE: To make room for Palmer, Emery said the Bears released TE
Steve Maneri.
