LAKE FOREST, Ill. — Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler returned to the practice field Thursday, about 2½ weeks after tearing a groin muscle during an Oct. 20 game against the Washington Redskins.
The plan is for Cutler, who missed the Bears’ 27-20 victory at Green Bay on Monday night, to test the injured muscle to the point where the quarterback might be medically cleared to play Sunday against the Detroit Lions.
No. 2 quarterback Josh McCown has had great success in relief of Cutler, but Bears coach Marc Trestman said Wednesday that if Cutler receives the necessary clearance from the team’s medical staff, Cutler will be in the starting lineup against Detroit. The Bears, Lions and Packers share the NFC North lead at 5-3.
