Jay Cutler has once again exited a Chicago Bears game injured, leaving his status uncertain. Fans have gotten used to seeing the quarterback helped back to the locker room has he has suffered injuries throughout his career. As an apparent groin injury appears to be the case this season, his wife, Kristin Cavallari is getting the hate from Bears fans on social media.
The injury occurred midway through the second quarter of the Bears' loss to the Washington Redskins. Cutler was sacked by Chris Baker, getting slammed to the ground. While the severity is unknown, Cutler is scheduled to undergo an MRI to determine to extent of the damage. Prior to getting hurt, Cutler was just 3-of-8 in passing for 28 yards and an interception returned for a 29-yard touchdown.
Naturally, fans were unhappy, finding Cavallari to be an easy target for their grief. At the start of the game, the former reality star tweeted about hair extensions. Fans accused her of tweeting this out after Cutler got injured, taking issue with the fact that she was not supporting the team. Never one to take things lying down, Cavallari lashed out to those sending hate claiming they have no idea what they are talking about.
The Cutler injury leaves the Bears with Josh McCown to take over the quarterback position. The Bears are expected to re-sign Jordan Palmer to a contract to backup McCown should this injury leave Cutler out for an extended period of time. Head coach Marc Trestman has no idea exactly was the severity of the injury to the team's starter is.
"We'll know more in the next couple of days," Trestman said, via ESPN.com. "It's a groin. It's not a knee, it's not an ankle, it's not a hip. We'll see where we're at. I'm just going to wait to see what the doctors say."
Trestman notes that the loss of Cutler would be tough. He credits the quarterback for being a strong leader for the team and they certainly want and need him out on the field. Running back Matt Forte echoed those statements saying the idea of Cutler missing time is certainly scary.
"You never want to see your starting quarterback go down," Forte said. "When your starting quarterback goes down and you are used to him playing, it kind of does something mentally to you. We didn't want to see anything like that out there."
