As expected, the Bears will be without Alshon Jeffery when they host the Raiders today, but there’s still a chance Jay Cutler will play, according to Adam Schefter.
No surprise but WR Alshon Jeffery will not play today, per source. However, Bears optimistic Jay Cutler can; will test hamstring pregame.

If he’s in the lineup, Culter will be limited in terms of his mobility and risks re-injuring the “significant” hamstring strain he suffered two weeks ago, according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
#Bears QB Jay Cutler (hammy) is questionable for a reason. He’s pushing to play, even with mobility in question. Risk of re-injury is issue

Bears feel good about where Jay Cutler is right now. Not 100 percent certain he starts – will see him warm-up first – but trending that way

Jack Del Rio told reporters this week that the Raiders were preparing for Cutler and expected him to play. If Cutler is able to play, 38 year-old Charles Woodson, who is also questionable for today’s game, should relish the opportunity to face “same old Jay” one more time.
