Jay Cutler 'politicking coaches' to play for Bears Sunday

CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora reports Jay Cutler (thumb) is "pushing to play" Sunday, and "politicking" the coaching staff.

What It Means:

Admirable as it may be, Cutler isn't going to be available for the Bears in Week 3. Brian Hoyer will be the starting quarterback for Chicago when they face the Dallas Cowboys Sunday night.

Our algorithms project Hoyer for 241 passing yards, 1.43 touchdowns and 0.86 interceptions on 35 passing attempts in Week 3.
