>>Cutler Could Be Out With Sprained Thumb
The struggling Chicago Bears might have to get by without quarterback Jay Cutler.
Coach John Fox said Cutler has a sprained right thumb that does not appear to require surgery and would not rule him out for this weekend's game against the Dallas Cowboys.
If he is not ready, Brian Hoyer will start.
Cutler topped a long list of players injured in Monday's loss to Philadelphia.
The defense was hit hard, with linebacker Danny Trevathan scheduled for surgery Wednesday morning on a sprained thumb.
Nose tackle Eddie Goldman (sprained ankle) left the field on a cart.
>>Bears LB Houston Out for Year
Chicago Bears linebacker Lamarr Houston will miss the rest of the season because of a torn ACL in his left knee.
Coach John Fox confirmed the injury to WBBM-AM 780 on Tuesday night.
Houston was one of a long line of Bears hurt in Monday's 29-14 loss to Philadelphia, along with quarterback Jay Cutler (sprained right thumb).
Houston clutched his knee and was tended to on the field after trying to rush the quarterback in the second quarter.
He tore the ACL in his right knee celebrating a late sack in a blowout loss at New England in October 2014.
