According to Vaughn McClure of the Chicago Tribune, Bears’ QB Jay Cutler suffered a broken thumb on his throwing hand in today’s 31-20 win over the Chargers at Soldier Field.
Per McClure, it is unclear when the injury took place or if Cutler could be sidelined for an extended period of time.
Cutler finished the game and threw for 286 yards and 2 TDs.
