Justin Fields would have liked catching Lamar Jackson, but ‘if there was one record I’d like to break, it’d be a passing record,’ says Chicago Bears QB

As teammates filled cardboard boxes and plastic bags with belongings in the Halas Hall locker room Monday morning, Justin Fields took inventory of his second season, one that ended Sunday as an onlooker for the team’s 10th consecutive loss.

Fields said his hip, which coach Matt Eberflus said made the quarterback unavailable for the 29-13 loss to the Minnesota Vikings at Soldier Field, was pretty good, calling it 80%.

“I could’ve (played), but I don’t know if I would’ve played my best game,” he said. “Actually, it really wasn’t up to me. The trainers, they didn’t want me playing. I couldn’t be out there.”
