Bears’ win eases Cutler’s bruised ribs

Some Bears players might be tempted to snack on popcorn today at Halas Hall as they watch highlights of their win against the Detroit Lions.

As for quarterback Jay Cutler, he probably will opt for a couple of painkillers instead.

Cutler has five days to recover from bruised ribs before the Bears’ next game Sunday against the Carolina Panthers. He said Tuesday on his radio show on WMVP-AM 1000 that he expected to be fully healthy against the Panthers despite a short week of practice.
