Unsure since his dislocated thumb suffered last week, the ax has fallen for Justin Fields. The 24-year-old quarterback will not be on the field Sunday against the Las Vegas Raiders, according to ESPN
When asked, Bears coach Matt Eberflus is not worried.
“His physical condition is progressing. The mobility of his thumb is improving, his hand has deflated, he has more strength in his grip. It’s moving in the right direction. We will decide week by week, and we will know more on Monday. »
Eberflus also said he ruled out putting Justin Fields on the injured list for the moment, although surgery in the future cannot be ruled out.
To replace him, rookie Tyson Bagent is the favorite, since quarterback number 2 in the official hierarchy published on the Bears website.
The alternative is veteran Nathan Peterman (29), who played a starting match for the Bears last season.
