— -- CHICAGO --  Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler has a hamstring injury and did not return to Sunday's 48-23 loss to the Arizona Cardinals.

Bears coach John Fox said after the game that Cutler has a pulled hamstring but also acknowledged that the 32-year-old quarterback will undergo further tests.

Cutler suffered the injury while attempting to tackle Arizona Cardinals safety Tony Jefferson, who intercepted a pass intended for Martellus Bennett deep in Chicago territory. Jefferson scored on the play to give the Cardinals a 28-14 lead with 2:59 remaining in the second quarter.

Cutler completed his first eight passes for 120 yards and one touchdown before the interception. Jimmy Clausen entered the game at quarterback for the Bears on the ensuing possession.

Durability has been an issue for Cutler, who missed 12 games between 2011-13 due to various ailments.
