After dislocating his thumb last week, Fields has been undergoing tests to figure out the severity of the injury.
Fields was ruled as doubtful for this past week, but the Bears have made it official that he will not be playing.
Some good news however, as Bears insider Josh Schrock revealed that Fields has been showing improvement, per head coach Matt Eberflus:
With Fields out, Bears undrafted rookie QB Tyson Bagent will be leading the Bears this week, and will also be making his first NFL start.
