Quarterback Switch for Bears Coming Wednesday?

The Chicago Bears are to announce Wednesday whether they're sticking with Rex Grossman as their starter at quarterback or switching to backup Brian Griese.

Grossman threw three interceptions during Sunday night's lopsided loss at home to the Dallas Cowboys, and fans at Soldier Field chanted for Griese late in the game. Grossman has thrown six interceptions and has only one touchdown pass in three games this season, and the defending NFC champions have a record of 1-2. They also have a long list of injuries on defense, and Coach Lovie Smith seems to be wavering in his longstanding support of his erratic quarterback.

Smith said in the immediate aftermath of the defeat to the Cowboys that Grossman remained the club's starter. But he softened that stance Monday, saying the Bears coaches were in the middle of their evaluation process and reporters would have to see at Wednesday's practice whether Grossman remained the starter.
