Jay Cutler believes that John Fox now has no choice but to support him as the starting quarterback for the Chicago Bears after Brian Hoyer's injury.

Cutler addressed the media on Tuesday for the first time since he suffered a sprained thumb in Week 2 against the Philadelphia Eagles.

When asked whether he felt he has Fox's trust, Cutler said, "He doesn't have a choice, I guess, at this point.

"Brian is out, so I've got to go. I've had good conversations with Foxy this week, last week, the week before. There's never been any strain in our relationship. We're both very open and honest, and we're on the same page. We just want to win football games."

Hoyer suffered a broken left arm last Thursday against the Green Bay Packers.
