Chicago Bears quarterback Jay Cutler will undergo surgery on the labrum in his right shoulder on Saturday and miss the remainder of the season, according to head coach John Fox.

Cutler sustained the injury in last month's 22–16 loss to the New York Giants.

The Bears have turned to Matt Barkley as the team's starting quarterback in his absence.

He finishes the season with 1,059 passing yards and four touchdowns.
