Jay Cutler didn't look stiff Wednesday from the neck injury that knocked him out of the fourth quarter of Sunday's road loss to the Vikings and said he will be ready for Sunday's showdown with the Packers.
Cutler sustained a neck injury, that some feared to be
another concussion at the time, during the fourth quarter of Sunday’s contest
against the Minnesota Vikings. He received a hit, which was deemed illegal,
above the neck by defensive lineman Everson Griffin. While the quarterback was
able to finish the drive, he watched the remainder of the game from the
sidelines.
It eventually came out that Cutler was dealing with a neck
injury, and he said earlier in the week that he expected to play. It now
appears that he’s upgraded himself to probable, so it’s unlikely he misses the
matchup against the Packers.
