The Chicago Bears returned to practice Wednesday afternoon at Halas Hall with quarterback Justin Fields cleared by the team’s medical staff to participate.
Quarterback Justin Fields’ status remains cloudy as the Chicago Bears prepare for this weekend’s road game against the New York Jets.
Fields injured his left shoulder on the first play of the Bears’ final drive Sunday afternoon in Atlanta, landing awkwardly when tackled near the sideline by cornerback Dee Alford at the end of a 1-yard run. Fields played the final two snaps after that injury and threw an interception that sealed the Bears’ 27-24 loss.
Eberflus declined to provide details on Fields’ injury, not willing to say whether the quarterback suffered a shoulder dislocation, separation, sprain or something else entirely. He also wouldn’t say if Fields would wear a harness on his left shoulder for protection.Bears quarterback Justin Fields rushes away from Falcons players in the second quarter at Mercedes-Benz Stadium on Nov. 20, 2022.
