Bears QB Brian Hoyer suffers broken left forearm vs. Packers

Share

Brian Hoyer left Thursday night's game against the Green Bay Packers in the second quarter with a broken left forearm.

After a throw, the Bears quarterback was hit by Clay Matthews and Julius Peppers and landed awkwardly on his left side. Hoyer was seen grabbing his left arm almost immediately after the play. 

He went to the locker room for X-rays and shortly after was ruled out for the remainder of the game.

Matt Barkley came in as his replacement. The USC product hadn't thrown a pass in the NFL since 2014.

The Bears were already without Jay Cutler, who injured his right thumb in Week 2 and had yet to be cleared for action.

It's uncertain if Cutler will be back for next week's Monday night game against the unbeaten Minnesota Vikings.

“When [Cutler’s return] is going to be,” said coach John Fox, “I can’t say.”
