Multiple reports say the Chicago Bears are benching quarterback Jay Cutler and going with Jimmy Clausen.

ESPN first reported Wednesday that the Bears were switching quarterbacks, with Clausen getting the nod over Cutler for Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions. The Chicago Tribune and Chicago Sun-Times, citing sources, also reported the switch.

The Bears would not confirm the move.

Coach Marc Trestman said earlier Wednesday he was not getting the most out of Cutler, but he did not mention benching the quarterback. He did not reveal the switch when asked about "Monday Night Football" analyst Jon Gruden calling for Clausen to relieve Cutler during Chicago's loss to New Orleans.
