About this Article

The closest Jay Cutler should get to Monday night’s Bears-49ers game is the TV set in his home. My advice to Jay: Don’t play, don’t practice, don’t even board the team charter for San Francisco Sunday afternoon. Stay home and get well. Play with your baby, get an early start on your Christmas shopping, finalize plans for Thanksgiving dinner. Do anything except play football this week.
