The Facts: Following up on a previous item. ... Cutler left Sunday’s loss to the Lions before the team’s final drive because of an ankle injury, not an aggravation of the groin injury that kept him out of the lineup last week. Cutler also said that x-rays on the ankle were negative, although there’s no word yet on his status for next week.

Diehards Line: After the game, Cutler said, via Adam Jahns of the Chicago Sun-Times, that he rolled his left ankle during the first half of the game and that limited his mobility in the second half before he finally came out of the game. Cutler was 21-of-40 for 250 yards with a touchdown and an interception before the injury. Josh McCown led the Bears to a touchdown, but the team couldn’t get a two-point conversion despite having two shots at it thanks to a penalty by the Lions on their first attempt.
