Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields practiced Friday for the first time since dislocating his thumb in a game last month and moved closer to returning to the field on game day. Fields has been labeled doubtful for Sunday's game with New Orleans.
FILE - Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields jogs off the field after the first half of the team’s NFL football game against the Minnesota Vikings, Oct. 15, 2023, in Chicago. Fields practiced Friday, Nov. 3, for the first time since dislocating his thumb in a game last month and moved closer to returning to the field on game day. Fields has been labeled doubtful for Sunday’s game with New Orleans.
The Bears have a game on Thursday night at home against Carolina, and Fields’ return for that game seems more realistic than on Sunday. Tyson Bagent was announced earlier this week by Eberflus as starter for the Saints game and that Fields would be out. But, that was before Fields was upgraded to doubtful.
The determining factor on whether he could be available Sunday or next Thursday is grip strength and if he can avoid further injury.
