"Jay Cutler couldn't provide a wedding date now that he's engaged to girlfriend Kristin Cavallari again, and the Bears quarterback also can't project a timetable for his return to action.

Speaking with media for the first time since surgery on his right thumb Nov. 23, Cutler grimly acknowledged he could be lost for the season — including the playoffs. There's just no way of knowing as he just now has begun rehabilitation. He could require a procedure to remove pins that were inserted before he can take the field.

But Cutler was jovial Wednesday shortly after Cavallari tweeted the couple's engagement was on again."
