Calling the concussion suffered Thursday night by Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa  “terrible,” Bears head coach Matt Eberflus said Wednesday the Bears have been mindful about what quarterback Justin Fields and others can do to protect themselves from head injuries during the game.

“Certainly, we’re always concerned when gets on the edge, and making sure he protects himself,” Eberflus said. “But It’s always an issue. We want to do a good job on our defense to make sure we’re not doing and committing those fouls. We want to be clean. We don’t ever want to give them 15 yards and we certainly don’t ever want to hurt anybody.”
