Bears' Jay Cutler, Alshon Jeffery Out Against Seahawks
(CBS) The Bears are officially going to Seattle with their starting quarterback and top receiver sidelined.
Jay Cutler and Alshon Jeffery will both miss Sunday's contest with the Seahawks due to hamstring injuries. Chicago will start Jimmy Clausen in Cutler's place.
Cutler and Jeffery didn't participate in practice this week. Cutler suffered his hamstring pull during the second quarter of last week's loss to Arizona, and Jeffery injured his hamstring in the Thursday practice before the game against the Cardinals.
Additionally, the Bears have listed linebacker Jon Bostic (ankle) as doubtful and receiver Eddie Royal (back, hip), defensive lineman Ego Ferguson (knee), linebacker Pernell McPhee (knee) and cornerback Tracy Porter (hamstring) as questionable. Running back Matt Forte (knee), receiver Marquess Wilson (shoulder) and guard Matt Slauson (thigh/toe) as probable.
Kickoff on Sunday is set for 3:25 CT from CenturyLink Field in Seattle.
