When coach Lovie Smith says late in a game week that a player is getting better, it is typically not a good sign. So when Smith said Friday that quarterback Jay Cutler was getting better less than two weeks after his concussion in the Houston game and still has to see an independent neurologist before being cleared to play a game, the expectations for Cutler playing Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings are very much on hold.
Cutler was limited in practice on Friday.
Jay Cutler is getting better, was able to do more Friday than he did Thursday, is looking good, Smith said, adding that defensive end Shea McClellin was fully cleared from his concussion. Its looking good for those two guys.
Cutler has progressed, Smith reiterated. Its looking good, one more step to get him evaluated by an independent neurologist but besides that, he was able to do more than he was able to do yesterday.
