LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- 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 weekends game against the Dallas Cowboys.If he is not ready, Brian Hoyer will start.Its hard for me to give timelines, Fox said on Tuesday. Well evaluate tomorrow. Weve got practice tomorrow, were on a short week already. If Jays ready to do it, fine. If not, well go with Brian Hoyer.Cutler topped a long list of players injured in Mondays 29-14 loss to Philadelphia.The defense was hit hard, with linebacker Danny Trevathan scheduled for surgery Wednesday morning on a sprained thumb. The Bears were awaiting the results of an MRI on linebacker Lamarr Houston, who suffered a left knee injury that Fox said appears to be significant. Nose tackle Eddie Goldman (sprained ankle) left the field on a cart.But once again, the Bears find themselves in a familiar spot with their quarterback hurt.Cutler has not played in all 16 games since 2009, his first season in Chicago, and if he is sidelined, that would be a big blow for the Bears. They are 0-2 in their second season under Fox after finishing last in the NFC North a year ago, and the last thing they need is to have to get by without their quarterback.Its not clear when the injury happened. Cutler reportedly suffered ligament damage to his thumb during the season-opening loss at Houston. He was not on the injury report leading up to the Eagles game.Fox said the thumb didnt appear to affect Cutler in practice last week and he was a full participant.Cutler said Monday night he couldnt pinpoint when the injury occurred but acknowledged he was having trouble early in the game.It worsened when he tried to plant his hand breaking his fall on a strip-sack by Philadelphias Destiny Vaeao in the third quarter. Cutler played two more series and exited the game after the Eagles Nigel Bradham stepped in front of a badly underthrown pass intended for Alshon Jeffery, who was about 10 yards up the field.Cutler headed to the locker room. But before he left the field, he got an earful from injured linebacker Pernell McPhee on the sideline.Should the Bears have pulled him earlier?Medical people come to you and say he cant go, then he cant go, Fox said. I dont know if he was left in any longer than anyone couldve guessed. Our training staff comes to you and says hes got a thumb injury, thats when we made our move.Cutler has missed 15 games since the start of the 2010 season, and he has a history of injuries to his right thumb dating to his childhood.Cutler said he had surgery on it when he was 11 or 12. He missed the final six games of the 2011 season when he broke the thumb trying to make a tackle following an interception against San Diego. The Bears won that game to improve to 7-3, but went into a tailspin on the way to an 8-8 finish.Now, Cutler is hurt again. And he has plenty of company.I like our roster, I like our choices and well do everything we can to get everybody ready for Dallas, Fox said.Game notesS Adrian Amos and CB Bryce Callahan exited Mondays game with concussions, S Chris Prosinski bruised his right calf and RB KaDeem Carey strained his hamstring. ... Fox basically brushed off a question about the McPhee-Cutler confrontation, saying he has not seen it. My understanding is youre going to have conversations, he said. These guys are competitive, theyre going to hold each other accountable. Youre going to have not confrontations, but conversations. Thats always been the case on any football team Ive ever been around. ... ...

Breaking three of his own world records on his way to winning in Paris, Chan silenced the critics and left the audiences standing in appreciation and awe.Sydney coach John Longmire has leapt to the defence of Lance Franklins goalless AFL display against Hawthorn.The superstar forward contributed 19 disposals and six marks in last Thursdays five-point loss to the Hawks, but couldnt manage a major against his former side.It was the first time in more than a year - since round eight last season - that Franklin hasnt scored in an AFL match.The triple Coleman medallist is currently second in this seasons running on 53 goals, two behind West Coasts leader Josh Kennedy.If he kicks too many goals theres too much of a reliance on him, if he doesnt kick a goal its not enough, Longmire said.We need to get the balance right.I think he played alright.If youre talking about just goals, he didnt kick a goal, but he contributed to quite a few and was up the ground a bit.Its one thing to look at the goals contributed, but its another to look at the goals he was actually able to assist.The Swans head into Saturdays clash with Carlton in fifth place and on equaal points with three other teams.dddddddddddd.Theyll be without defender Zak Jones, who will be sidelined for at least a month with an ankle injury sustained against the Hawks.A decision will be made on his replacement later in the week.Whether its a couple of players who have been playing that role really well in the reserves, or just a change of roles in our senior team, Longmire said.The coach said Isaac Heeney may even be considered as an option at the back.Regardless of position, 20-year-old Heeney is set to return following his two-goal, 29-disposal effort in the reserves on the weekend after he was rested against Geelong a fortnight ago.Hes very versatile and played really well on the weekend in our reserves, Longmire said.He was really lively through the midfield.He played forward, but we also know hes capable of playing back because hes so good overhead.
