All that criticism about Jay Cutler's toughness might be for naught. Sun-Times Bears beat writer Sean Jensen is reporting that Cutler has an MCL tear in his knee. The severity of the injury is being determined, but surgery is likely necessary.

Which means a bunch of armchair quarterbacks burned their ill-fitting Cutler jerseys for nothing. Way to jump the gun, people. Bear down.

UPDATE: Now it's being reported as a sprain..
