NFL clears Bears' handling of Cutler's injury
Jay Cutler - QB - Chicago Bears
Nov. 12, 2012 - 1:05 PM ET

The NFL has already determined the Bears violated no rules in their handling of Jay Cutler's concussion.

"Our office reviewed it with the (Bears) medical staff and it was properly handled," NFL spokesman Greg Aiello said. "The team followed the correct protocol." It's questionable as to why Cutler wasn't immediately pulled following Tim Dobbins' savage helmet-to-helmet hit, but the league clearly didn't find anything malicious in Chicago's handling of its quarterback. Cutler's status will be updated in the next 48 hours.
