LAKE FOREST, Ill. -- Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler is listed as doubtful for Sundays game against the Tennessee Titans due to a shoulder injury.Backup Matt Barkley is set to make his first NFL start.Cutler suffered a right shoulder injury last Sunday against the New York Giants and has not practiced all week. Initial reports said Cutler could be done for the season, but coach John Fox this week said its not a season-ending injury.Barkley has played for the Bears only after backup Brian Hoyer broke his left arm Oct. 19 at Green Bay. He also played in relief for Philadelphia in 2013 and 2014, and is 36 for 65 for 381 yards with six interceptions and no touchdown passes.We obviously can see what hes comfortable with, the things that come easily to him, Bears offensive coordinator Dowell Loggains said. Some things will be a challenge. There will be some adjusting in the game, as it gets going, to see how hes seeing the defense.We really havent seen him in this role in our offense as a starter with a full week of preparation, so theres always a little bit of uncertainty. But were very confident that hes going to go out and perform well.Barkley isnt sure what this start or any subsequent ones will mean regarding his future with the Bears, but said hell simply draw on his past as a USC starter.Even high school, we were on nationally televised games and big crowds kind of through my whole life, big moments, Barkley said. I dont like to see the big picture when it comes to living in that moment; I like to focus on the task at hand. Thats kind of carried with me up until this point.And Ive learned a lot from other quarterbacks in this league that Ive been with who kind of had that same mentality, so thats helped.The only Bears player officially out for Sundays game is linebacker Leonard Floyd, who has not yet passed the NFL concussion protocol following a head/neck injury against the Giants. He had to be taken by ambulance to the hospital after that injury.Guard Josh Sitton (ankle) is also doubtful and would be replaced for the second straight game by Eric Kush if hes unable to play. Sitton has not practiced this week.Wide receiver Eddie Royal (toe), defensive end Mitch Unrein (back), linebacker Christian Jones (ankle/back) and cornerback Deiondre Hall (ankle) are questionable.The Bears have not yet activated cornerback Kyle Fuller, who has been on injured reserve with a status to return. He had arthroscopic knee surgery in August and has been evaluated in practices this week.---For more NFL coverage: http://www.pro32.ap.org and http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Wholesale Custom Colts Shirts .Y. - Free agent outfielder Jacoby Ellsbury, fresh off winning the World Series with Boston, reached agreement with the rival New York Yankees on a seven-year contract worth about $153 million, a person familiar with the negotiations said Tuesday night.

For successful players, it is a vicious cycle: The deeper they go into draws, the more matches they play, the more damage they incur.For Dominic Thiem, 2016 has been a season of discovery -- and a series of teachable moments regarding the importance of restraint.With a string of minor titles, the Austrian blew into the top 10 at the age of 22 and couldnt seem to play enough tennis. He was a semifinalist at Roland Garros but hit the wall hard, beginning at Wimbledon.Two days after his 23rd birthday, playing his ATP World Tour-leading 69th match, the No. 8 seed looked sluggish and weary. After only 14 games, Thiem retired from Mondays fourth-round match with Juan Martin del Potro with a right knee injury.The unseeded del Potro, who was ahead by a score of 6-3, 3-2, received a wild card from the USTA into the main draw. With a ranking of No. 142, he is the lowest-ranked quarterfinalist here since Jimmy Connors (No. 174) ripped through to the semifinals 25 years ago at the age of 39.I didnt expect to be in quarters in my second Grand Slam after my comeback, del Potro said. Im playing good tennis. My level is growing up every day. Im so glad to be part of the last eight in this tournament, and that I will have the chance to play another big challenge after tomorrow.Everything can happen. So I will try to be there.Thiem said that the injury probably came about as a result of blisters on the toes of his right foot. Unable to put the usual pressure on his toes, he compensated and started running differently. The pain in the knee, which began three days earlier, became too much. Thiem said he would undergo an MRI later Monday.After a 6-5 record going back to Wimbledon, Thiem said he would adjust his 2017 schedule.For sure I will adapt it, Thiem said. Yeah, I never expected to play that many matches, of course, this year. But it happened obviously, and for sure next year Im going to change it up a little bit.Coming out of a hellish vortex that included four wrist surgeries -- three on his left wrist along -- del Potro, 27, didnt step on thhe court for his first match this year until mid-February in Delray Beach, Florida.dddddddddddd By that time, Thiem had already played four events, including Buenos Aires, where he beat Rafael Nadal and won the title.This was only del Potros 30th match of the year, and he has yet to lose a set here. With Thiems retirement, del Potro has only needed 10-plus sets to reach the quarters. Lucas Pouille, on the other side of the draw, by contrast, played 19 to get to this stage.This result will come as a relief to del Potro, who called for the trainer on two occasions to work on his right shoulder. Hell have a little extra recovery time for Wednesdays quarterfinal match against Stan Wawrinka, who beat Illya Marchenko?in four sets.Del Potro has now played 10 matches inside a month, including six at the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. He beat No. 1 Novak Djokovic in the first round there and took away the silver medal, losing to Andy Murray in the final.At Wimbledon, del Potro was hitting mostly a one-handed backhand, but as the summer has worn on, his confidence in the left wrist has grown. Against Thiem, virtually every backhand involved both hands.Of course the forehand is amazing, and also the service is really good, Thiem said of del Potro. Backhand probably not like when he was at his best, but I think its getting better and better.Del Potros greatest achievement came right here, when he beat Roger Federer in the 2009 US Open final. His weapons were breathtaking, his future seemingly limitless.Now, of course, del Potro is a cautionary tale that has evolved into the saga of a rousing comeback.If he manages to find a way past No. 3 Wawrinka and, presumably, No. 2 Murray, del Potro would be the first wild card to reach a US Open final and the lowest-ranked Grand Slam finalist since rankings were instituted in 1973.I was close to retired before my third surgery, del Potro said. When I made the decision to do the [fourth] surgery, I always believe I will come back, for sure.And now Im here. Im playing free. ' ' '
