Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler apparently has a lot more to worry about than just a neck injury.
Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports Cutler has a sprained MCL in his knee. The Bears list Cutler on the injury report with neck and knee injuries. He's expected to fully participate in Friday's practice and start in Sunday's big game against the Green Bay Packers.
Bears coach Lovie Smith said he wasn't worried about Cutler's mobility, but it's notable the team did not mention his knee injury when he was knocked out of last week's loss to the Minnesota Vikings. The team only said that Cutler hurt his neck.
Cutler famously was knocked out of the NFC Championship game against the Packers in 2011 by a sprained MCL, but Biggs reports this injury is not as serious.

How long do you think Cutler lasts in this game with this sprained MCL?
-
he'll play as long as he can, after throwing a INT that is a result of this pain and not being able to scramble as he wants he is done for this game. ESPN and all the other haters will label him as pussy and soft again and that he quit on the team again
reality says that this is a must win game and he is a tough SOB

He'll last as long as the offensive line can protect him. I'm not trying to be funny here, but just stating a fact. If he gets beaten up and abused like the last Packers game, then it's going to be a long ugly game.
I'm at the point now, that I don't care about who we draft or who we acquire in FA - as long as we fix the offensive line this off-season. Fix it with rock solid talent. I am so sick and angry about how this season was sacrificed, by not putting a decent oline in front of Jay Cutler.
It's almost criminal.

How long will he last on this team until he realizes there are better O-lines elsewhere? Sheeeeeesh. I feel sorry for the guy.

I really feel bad for him too... Just imagine what he would do with a quality line to protect him? oh yeah he would throw for 5k just like he did in denver!

And Marshall would have 3k+ because Cutler doesn't throw to anyone else

Jay Cutler take a bow then take the rest of the season off.
Arguing on the internet is like winning the special olympics, even if you win your still messed up.
Restore the roar!

It's obvious that the Cutler haters and critics have an axe to grind.
Yes,he needs some work and an offensive line,but I refer to his toughness.
"In 43 career games with the Bears, Cutler has been sacked a staggering 119 times."(bleacher report)
That's 3 times per game average,not including all the other hits.
It's just a damn shame to have a franchise QB,an upgraded WR corps,and not protect the investments.
