Bears' Brian Hoyer (broken arm) expected to return in six-to-eight weeks
Chicago Bears quarterback Brian Hoyer is expected to return in six weeks after undergoing surgery on his broken left forearm.
What It Means:
Hoyer was initially expected to miss eight weeks, but CBS Sports' Jason La Canfora reports the surgery "went well." The improved timeline could keep Hoyer off injured reserve, but the Bears still need to decide what they are going to do at quarterback for the next month and a half. Matt Barkley struggled mightily against the Green Bay Packers, and starter Jay Cutler is still dealing with a thumb injury, although he is well past his original two-to-three week timetable for return.
On just 15 passing attempts, Barkley accrued -7.39 Net Expected Points in Week 7, per numberFire Live.
