Chicago Bears coach Matt Eberflus said the swelling in Justin Fields’ right hand continues to go down, but he didn’t dismiss the possibility of Fields opting to have surgery on his dislocated thumb.
As expected, Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields will not practice Wednesday as the team continues preparing for Sunday’s game against the Las Vegas Raiders at Soldier Field. That leaves undrafted rookie Tyson Bagent in line to make his first start this week. Fields dislocated the thumb on his throwing hand while being sacked in the third quarter of last week’s loss to the Minnesota Vikings. A timetable for his recovery and return remains cloudy.
” The Bears continue to discuss the possibility of Fields taping the thumb for added stability while trying to play through the injury in the near future. “With other people who have had this injury, it’s gone that way,” Eberflus said. “They’ve taped it and went through it and they’ve played. It’s been a week-to-week thing. … We don’t know where it is yet. We’ll figure it out later in the week.” The Bears have optimism Bagent can play effectively during Fields’ likely absence.
