Quarterback injuries were the big story in the NFL two weeks ago when Jay Cutler, Ben Roethlisberger, Alex Smith and Michael Vick were all injured. Cutler made it back to the lineup first.
NFL Network's Stacey Dales reported early Sunday that Cutler would start against the Minnesota Vikings. Cutler was indeed active, and piloted the Bears to a 28-10 victory over the Vikings. Smith is active for Sunday's game against the New Orleans Saints, but he will come off the bench. Colin Kaepernick started for the 49ers, as Albert Breer reported.
