John Fox isn't sure when Bears cornerback Kyle Fuller will be back in action.
After Thursday's preseason game against the New England Patriots, Fox told reporters that Fuller, who didn't make the trip to Massachusetts with the team, had a "knee scope."
When asked how long Fuller would be sidelined for, Fox had little detail to offer.
"I’m not really big on that because it really never works out," Fox said, refusing a timetable for Fuller's return. "So I would call it week to week."
Fuller has been bothered by the injury throughout training camp and the preseason.
"Well, I think injuries, kind of get in the way of progress," Fox said. "You know, it was kind of getting worse and worse and didn’t get better and I’m not a big fan of doing the same old stuff. I use a different word most of the time, but I think, you know, it was kind of bothering him, so we wanted to see and get it fixed. I think when he gets medically cleared, he will be back out there. You know, it’s hard for me to predict when that’s going to be."
The Bears open their regular-season schedule against the Houston Texans on Sep. 11. Will Fuller be ready by then?

"I hope everybody is ready," Fox said. "But, you know, that’s hoping."
Fox also clarified that linebacker Danny Trevathan is dealing with a hamstring strain and not a knee injury.
