Bears' Jay Cutler, Alshon Jeffery Listed As Questionable For Sunday

(CBS) Bears quarterback Jay Cutler and receiver Alshon Jeffery are listed as questionable for Sunday's home game against the Raiders as they both continue to deal with hamstring injuries.

For the third consecutive day, Cutler participated in practice Friday. He hasn't played since suffering a hamstring injury late in the second quarter of a Sept. 20 loss to the Cardinals. On Thursday, he said he was a "maybe" for Sunday's game.

Jimmy Clausen is likely to start if Cutler can't play.

Despite receiving the same injury designation, Jeffery's outlook is worse. His hamstring didn't respond well at practice, and he's not expected to play Sunday, ESPN.com reported, citing a source.

Chicago will for certain be without left tackle Jermon Bushrod (concussion/shoulder), as he's been ruled out. Charles Leno is likely to start in his place.

Defensive lineman Ego Ferguson (knee), defensive lineman Jeremiah Ratliff (ankle), defensive lineman Will Sutton (elbow), cornerback Alan Ball (groin) and punter Pat O'Donnell (knee) are all questionable.
