Bears' Brian Hoyer: In line for another start

Hoyer is expected to start Sunday's game against Detroit, NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports.

Analysis:

With Jay Cutler absent from practice and listed as doubtful, Hoyer will almost certainly be under center Sunday afternoon. He'll draw a favorable matchup against a Detroit defense that may be missing DE Ezekiel Ansah (ankle) and DeAndre Levy (quad). However, top wideout Alshon Jeffery is dealing with hamstring and knee injuries, according to Rich Campbell of the Chicago Tribune.
