Chicago Bears lose center Will Montgomery to leg fracture

LAKE FOREST, Ill. — Quarterback Jay Cutler seems over his hamstring problems. The Chicago Bears now have to worry about who's available to block for him.

The loss of center Will Montgomery to a broken left fibula in Sunday's 22-20 win over the Oakland Raiders left the offensive line scrambling, and the grouping for this Sunday's game in Kansas City appears uncertain at best. Coach John Fox said he had no idea whether Montgomery's injury was a season-ender, but it definitely forces a shift this week.

"It happens at a lot of positions in a lot of football games in the National Football League," Fox said Monday.
