Clausen will start during Jay Cutler's absence due to a hamstring injury, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Cutler will sit out at least two games with the ailment, affording Clausen the opportunity to start for just the second time since the 2010. In Cutler's place Sunday against the Cardinals, Clausen was 14-of-23 passing for 121 yards with an interception, but he'll likely have difficulty one-upping those modest results in Week 3 against a motivated Seahawks defense in the one of the loudest venues in sport, CenturyLink Field.
