Pocket rocket: Justin Fields learning to hang in there

When Bears quarterback Justin Fields scrambled, slid for no gain and was hit by Chiefs safety Juan Thornhill  in Saturday’s preseason game at Soldier Field, getting sacked, getting hit, and not getting the personal foul call were the least of the problems on that play. 

“He vacated too quickly,” Bears offensive coordinator Luke Getsy said. “He skipped No. 2 in the progression. He kind of went left-right, and they took away No. 1. That was a great job of him getting back [to the line of scrimmage]. I think he got out of there a little too quick. That was one play, honestly, that I wish we had back for him.”
