ESPN’s Adam Schefter previously reported that Cutler would miss “at least” two weeks with a hamstring injury.
This, of course, means that Chicago will start Jimmy Clausen in Sunday’s match up with the Seahawks.
Cutler, 32, is in the second year of his seven-year, $126.7 million contract that included $54 million guaranteed. He stands to make base salaries of $15.5 million (2015), $16 million (2016), $12.5 million (2017) $13.5 million (2018), and $17.5 million (2019).
This season, Cutler has completed 57.8 percent of his passes to go along with 345 yards receiving, two touchdowns and two interceptions.
Jeffery has been dealing with a hamstring injury of his own. This season, Jeffery has caught five passes for 78 yards receiving and no touchdowns this season.
