Bears quarterback Justin Fields may not be sidelined for long after suffering a dislocated thumb in the team’s 19-13 loss to the Vikings in Week 6, according to Fox Sports’ Jay Glazer.
During the third quarter of Bears-Vikings game, Fields was scrambling to his left before he was sacked from behind by Vikings outside linebacker Danielle Hunter. After Hunter brought Fields to the ground, it appeared that he landed on Fields’s right hand.
Ahead of Week 7 action on Sunday, Glazer said the Bears’ quarterback likely avoided a major injury in last week’s contest.
