Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler is expected to be sidelined for at least two weeks with a hamstring injury.
ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that Jimmy Clausen will start for the Bears — who declined to comment on the injury situation — on Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks. Cutler left Sunday’s game against the Arizona Cardinals after he tried to make a tackle following an interception.

There was some speculation that Cutler may have actually suffered a shoulder injury and the Bears were lying about it for strategy purposes, but it does not appear that was the case.
Chicago is off to an 0-2 start after being demolished by the Cardinals at home. With Alshon Jeffery also dealing with a hamstring ailment, it could get a lot worse for the Bears before it gets better.
