NFL.com is reporting that Jay Cutler has been cleared for full participation in practice. Cutler, who suffered a concussion two weeks ago in a Monday night game against the New York Giants, was inactive Sunday against the Carolina Panthers.
While there's been no official announcement, this news fuels hope that Cutler will be available for Sunday's contest against the Seahawks. The NFL has instituted a stricter set of guidelines for head injuries this season, including the clearance of an independent neurologist, before a player can return to active duty.
