Chicago Bears - PlayerWatch

[October 24, 2014]  CB Kyle Fuller practiced on a limited basis Thursday after missing Wednesday's practice due to a hand fracture and hip pointer. His replacement would be Sherrick McManis, but Fuller's progress could mean he'll be able to play Sunday wearing a soft cast on his hand.

QB Jay Cutler said he canceled a radio show he does each week not because of the team's loss to Miami and the subsequent locker-room outbursts that occurred, but because he had to take his son, Jaxon, to the doctor. "It's almost easier to do the radio show and just get it out of the way after a loss," he said. "Some of these questions you don't have to answer on Thursday. It was out of my hands. It had nothing to do with what's happened or what happened on Sunday." Cutler also said the perception that coach Marc Trestman and assistants do not criticize him is inaccurate, but when asked by media who is more critical, media or coaches, he said, "Media, you guys still win that one."

TE Martellus Bennett practiced on a limited basis Thursday after being held out of Wednesday's practice due to a hamstring injury.

DE Jared Allen missed Thursday's practice, but not due to injury. He was given a personal day off.

WR Chris Williams missed Thursday's practice due to illness. The Bears' kick returner had just made strides for the first time this year with a 50-yard return last week. Senorise Perry is the backup return man.

T Jordan Mills practiced only on a limited basis Thursday with a sore foot after going through a full practice Wednesday.
