Bulger had already missed two games earlier this season after spraining the acromio-clavicular joint in the same shoulder Oct. 17 against Indianapolis, and the injury wasn't fully healed when he was sacked hard by Cardinals safety Adrian Wilson in the third quarter. Bulger also suffered a concussion on the play.
An MRI taken on Monday revealed no extensive damage to the shoulder, but Bulger will not attempt to rush back until fully healthy.
"I will definitely be a little more cautious then I was," he said. "I will definitely let it heal a little bit more than I did this past time."
