Rumors this week were that Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler was lobbying coaches to let him play on Sunday night versus the Dallas Cowboys, despite a sprained thumb on his throwing hand suffered a week ago against the Philadelphia Eagles. But his politicking didn't work, as the Bears have officially deactivated the starting quarterback ahead of the Sunday Night Football contest.
The full list of Bears inactives:
- QB Jay Cutler (thumb)
- OL Eric Kush (healthy scratch)
- NB Bryce Callahan (concussion)
- CB Kyle Fuller (knee)
- RB Ka'Deem Carey (hamstring)
- DT Eddie Goldman (ankle)
Last week, Adrian Amos was knocked out with a concussion, but he will play tonight versus the Cowboys.
