Bears lose Cutler, Briggs to injuries
Quarterback Jay Cutler suffered a muscle tear in his groin during a 45-41 loss to the Washington Redskins Sunday, forcing the Chicago Bears to go with veteran Josh McCown. Linebacker Lance Briggs left the game with a small fracture in his left shoulder. Neither player will need surgery. “They’re not done,” coach Marc Trestman said. “They’re 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.
