Bears hold Jay Cutler (thumb) out of practice ahead of Lions game

LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler did not practice Thursday, making it an even stronger possibility that Brian Hoyer makes his second consecutive start Sunday when Chicago (0-3) hosts the Detroit Lions (1-2).

Cutler had limited participation Wednesday, according to the Bears' official injury report.

Cutler is attempting to come back from a right thumb injury he sustained in the regular-season opener in Houston and aggravated the next week against Philadelphia.
