Justin Fields Out Of Action On Thursday

Justin Fields Out Of Action On Thursday

one year ago

Chicago Bears quarterback Justin Fields (thumb) was sidelined again for Thursday's practice and is trending toward missing another game this weekend on the road in New Orleans against the Saints. Fields suffered a dislocated thumb on his throwing hand in Week 6 and has missed the last two games as a result. All signs point to rookie Tyson Bagent making his third straight start in Week 9 against the Saints. There's a chance that Fields returns to practice on Friday, but the 24-year-old will almost certainly be ruled out again this week for the third straight game. At best, Bagent is a desperation streaming option in superflex leagues against a tough defense in a hostile environment in Week 9.
