Jay Cutler must be feeling better.

After all, Cutler was able to watch the Bears’ 32-7 loss to the San Francisco 49ers on TV until the final whistle without lunging for the power button on the remote.

Speaking publicly for the first time since his concussion, Cutler said Tuesday during his paid radio appearance on WMVP AM-1000 that he was feeling better more than a week after sustaining a helmet-to-helmet hit from Texans linebacker Tim Dobbins. Cutler promised that he would be back on the field soon, although he could not guarantee that it would be Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings.
