LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler has a sprained thumb on his throwing hand but is not expected to need surgery, coach John Fox said Tuesday.To my knowledge, right now, no [he will not need surgery], Fox said. But to eliminate it down the road, Im not a doctor, so I cant tell you that. But it doesnt appear like that at this point.Fox said the veteran quarterback is considered day to day, but stopped short of declaring Cutler out for Sunday nights road game against the Dallas Cowboys.Not really [sure if he can play this week], well just take it day to day, Fox said. Brian Hoyer stepped in and did a pretty good job. Well evaluate that tomorrow and split up practice as need be.Cutler acknowledged he was concerned about the injury after Monday nights loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, saying he aggravated the injury earlier in the game and that he couldnt really grip the ball.Cutler said the injury contributed to his throwing an interception to Eagles linebacker Nigel Bradham with 36 seconds left in the third quarter.That turned out to be Cutlers final play of the game.I couldnt get as much on it as I wanted to, to put it over the top of that backer, Cutler said of the interception. It was unfortunate, hurt the team. I knew I was putting the team, especially the offense, in jeopardy at that point. ... I knew my day was done.Cutler, 33, completed 12 of 17 pass attempts for 157 yards and one interception. He also lost a fumble.An 11-year veteran, Cutler has missed 15 games because of injuries since 2010. He broke his right thumb in a Nov. 2011 game against the San Diego Chargers while trying to make a tackle following an interception. The injury caused him to miss the rest of the season.The Bears were 7-3 after beating the Chargers but lost their next five games and didnt make the playoffs.I think Jay probably originally hurt his thumb five years ago, Fox said. But he practiced every play of practice last week, I think you guys were out there.An eight-year NFL veteran, Hoyer, 30, passed for 2,606 yards, 19 touchdowns and seven interceptions for the Houston Texans last year. However, Hoyer tossed four interceptions in Houstons playoff loss to Kansas City that prompted the Texans to release him in the offseason.The Bears signed Hoyer to a one-year deal that included $750,000 in guarantees.

PHOENIX -- A day after he threw a simulated game at Dodger Stadium, Clayton Kershaws return to the rotation remains undecided, reducing the possibility that he could come back by Thursdays game at Washington.Kershaw has not pitched since June 26 because of a lower back injury that was diagnosed as a mild disk herniation. He is eligible to return from the disabled list, but the Dodgers are giving their staff ace more time to make sure he is 100 percent recovered.The Dodgers wanted to see how Kershaw came out of his Saturday session before deciding their next move. Manager Dave Roberts did not say there was a setback of any kind, but he still does not have a concrete plan for Kershaw at this time.After that [the simulated game], were just making sure he feels his body feels 100 percent ready to come back because when he does come back, we want him to stay healthy, Roberts said. Thats why were being extra cautious as we are with all of our players. A couple, two, three days, to see how his body responds, and how he feels, will give us a lot more clarity. Right now, as weve been, were reluctant to put any return date for Clayton. You have to defer to his health, obviously.It was Roberts who suggested last week that Kershaw could return on the road trip, which runs through a visit to St. Louis on July 24.The Dodgers will have made one turn through the rotation to start the second half by the end of Wednesdays game at Washington. Scott Kazmir and Hyun-Jin Ryu will pitch in the first two games of that series.It left the possibility that Kershaw could pitch Thursday.dddddddddddd The Dodgers have not scheduled a pitcher beyond Wednesday in their daily game notes.Roberts said he had no qualms about pitching three left-handers in a single series, which would happen if Kershaw pitched Thursday. The manager also said he wasnt concerned about having Kershaw fly across the country to pitch after a back injury.Yet the longer the Dodgers wait to make a decision, the more likely it is that he returns later in the week. Roberts was even asked whether the Dodgers might wait until their next homestand to get Kershaw back into the mix.I think that for Clayton, if he feels well and the doctors support it, then whether its on the road or at home, that decision will be made, Roberts said. I cant even speak to when that would be. Were trying to give it just a couple more days to see how he feels. I think that after the exertion, when things start to settle, his body will feel a certain way, whether he feels refreshed and not sore or he feels sore, and we have to readjust.If Kershaw does not pitch in Washington, Bud Norris is in line to pitch Thursday. The tentative rotation at St. Louis would be Brandon McCarthy on Friday, Kenta Maeda on Saturday and Kazmir on Sunday Night Baseball, unless Kershaw takes one of those games.Kershaw is 11-2 with a 1.79 ERA, and the Dodgers have won 14 of his 16 starts this season.
