Another week, another game week spent speculating if Justin Fields will suit up for the Bears.
Fields met with the media on Wednesday, a sign that the Bears aren’t ruling him out for Sunday’s game. Fields said his shoulder feels “better than last Wednesday” but he remained unsure about his status against the Packers.
“Just feeling better each and every day,” Fields said.
Fields was a game-time decision against the Jets, where he ultimately didn’t feel like he could operate the offense without limitations. Which spells a pathway for Fields getting back on the field.
“Yeah, it was basically just seeing how I felt throwing the ball, throwing on the run, and stuff like that,” Fields said. “It really just seeing how I felt throughout warmups and stuff like that.”
Fields started this week out as a limited participant in practice, which is exactly where he was just one week ago. If Fields is to get back on the field, he’ll need to be cleared by doctors, the coaches and himself.
While Chicago’s late bye week felt like a curse earlier this season, it provides a good opportunity for the Bears to sit Fields for another week and giving him additional time off during the bye before bringing him back. But Fields isn’t thinking that far ahead.
“I’m going to talk to the trainers and the coaches,” Fields said. “We don’t know if we’re going to make it to the bye week. We don’t even know if we’re going to make it to tomorrow. Like I said, we’re going to see how practice goes today, and just see how I feel during practice.”
