Bears' Brian Hoyer suffers broken left arm on hard hit; Matt Barkley in

— -- GREEN BAY, Wis. -- Chicago Bears quarterback Brian Hoyer suffered a broken left arm in the second quarter of Thursday night's game against the Green Bay Packers, head coach John Fox said.

Hoyer was hit hard by Green Bay defenders Julius Peppers and Clay Matthews on a third-down pass attempt that fell incomplete with 10:03 left in the quarter.

He stayed on the turf for several minutes but eventually walked off the field under his own power. Hoyer appeared to be clutching his left arm when examined by members of the Bears' medical staff.

Hoyer was 4-of-11 for 49 yards before he left the field and was replaced by? Matt Barkley. Veteran Jay Cutler is inactive because of a thumb injury.

Bears Pro Bowl guard Kyle Long also left the game in the second quarter with an arm injury. His return is questionable.
