LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Jay Cutlers season might not be over, despite pessimistic reports.The Chicago Bears quarterback suffered a right shoulder injury and his status for this week is uncertain, although coach John Fox said Wednesday it apppears less signficant than some earlier media reports suggested.Its not season ending, contrary to the reports you heard, Fox said.Cutler suffered the shoulder injury in Sundays 22-16 loss to the New York Giants, but finished the game.You know, in my experience with Jay, hes a tough son of a gun, Fox said. So he doesnt go typical of the lengths people put into it as far as weeks and whatnot. So, you know, right now he is day to day.The Bears practiced with Matt Barkley taking all the snaps Wednesday in preparation for Sundays game at Soldier Field against the Tennessee Titans. It would be Barkleys first NFL start.Fox was vague on how severe the labrum injury Cutler suffered actually is. He didnt dispute that Cutler has a labrum tear or that he might eventually need surgery.Tear is kind of a broad term, Fox said. It is sore. There is soreness to it. But there is a lot of things in the shoulder that can affect the quarterback. Some of them can be just chronic, old, just wear and tear, like pitchers or quarterbacks in the National Football League.So its injured, but its not season ending.Cutlers last pass was an interception to end the Bears chances Sunday. He is 81 for 137 for 1,059 yards with four touchdown passes and five interceptions this season, and has a passer rating of 78.1.An earlier thumb injury limited Cutler to five starts this year.As for his future in Chicago, Cutler no longer has a high salary cap figure, so it becomes more likely he could be traded or cut in the offseason. Fox is looking short term and not big picture.He said Barkley will be more prepared than he was when the Bears turned to him Oct. 20 in relief of starter Brian Hoyer against Green Bay in a 26-10 loss. Hoyer suffered a broken left arm in the game, and Cutler was already out.Barkley went 6 for 15 for 81 yards with two interceptions, but had little previous practice time.He can make all the throws, Fox said. Its not too big for him. Its not overwhelming. I think thats pretty important at that position. He handles the audibles pretty well, he understands the offense. Hes picked that up pretty quickly. Im confident in the guy.Barkley signed with the Bears practice squad Sept. 4.Ive been in big games before, said Barkley, who played at USC. Ive played football at a high level. This is the NFL and Im excited about that, but in my mind its nothing new to me.Im going to respect Tennessees defense. Theyve done a great job thus far, their defense. In my mind, though, its another game. Ive been here before. So Ill just keep playing football.Barkley is 36 for 65 for 381 yards with six interceptions and no touchdowns in an NFL career that started in 2013 with the Philadelphia Eagles.The Bears have been ravaged by injuries at all positions. Barkley would be their third quarterback to start this year. Not only did they lose Cutler for five weeks earlier, but they lost Hoyer, and their original third quarterback, Connor Shaw, suffered a broken leg in preseason.To back up Barkley, the Bears signed one of their own former draft picks, David Fales. He had been cut and signed earlier in the season with Baltimores practice squad.Barkley said he wont have to adjust much to throwing to the current Bears receivers. Kevin Whites broken leg and a suspension to Alshon Jeffery for a performance enhancing drug policy violation make it so hed throw in the game to the same backups he threw to with the scout team.Im going to be ready, Barkley said. Im not overthinking it, Im not over-hyped.Im just going to be me and try to win this game.Game notes Linebacker Leonard Floyd is in the NFL concussion protocol and missed Wednesdays practice following a scary neck/head injury suffered against the Giants. Floyd is day to day. ... Starting nose tackle Eddie Goldman (ankle), who missed last weeks game, was able to practice Wednesday on a limited basis.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Brian Flynn Jersey .

The helmet of Iowa quarterback C.J. Beathard is back where it belongs this week after going for a little adventure in the aftermath of the Hawkeyes last-second upset victory over Michigan this past Saturday.Beathard tossed his helmet into the air after teammate Keith Duncan hit a 33-yard field goal to beat the third-ranked Wolverines, 14-13, at Kinnick Stadium. Thousands of fans poured onto the field to celebrate the win and one of them scooped up the stray helmet as a souvenir. Campus police later spotted the fan wearing Beathards helmet in town and helped make sure it was returned to the Hawkeyes locker room.Our equipment guy told me that one of the cops walking down the street saw a kid wearing it, Beathard told reporters in Iowa City Tuesday.Beathard said several members of the team realized their helmets were missing when they returned to the locker room late Saturday night. Student managers and members of the equippment staff helped corral much of the equipment, but Beathards took a little extra time to find.ddddddddddddIowa coach Kirk Ferentz said head student manager Brock Baumert let him know some of the helmets were missing when driving the coach back to the football facility after Ferentz finished some interviews Saturday night.He said the managers were really helping, the student managers were helping after the game, because anything that wasnt nailed down was being accosted, Ferentz said. So I guess those guys, they deserve gold stars for the week.Beathard said he uses a different helmet for practice than games so the brief absence didnt cause any inconvenience. Where exactly the helmet went and what type of celebration it witnessed in its short jaunt of freedom Saturday night remain a mystery.
