The Chicago Bears and Minnesota Vikings faced off in a highly anticipated matchup on Sunday, but the game was marred by an injury to Bears quarterback Justin Fields. During the fourth quarter of the game, Fields suffered an injury to his right hand.
Fields was seen clutching his right hand after a play and was immediately taken to the locker room for evaluation. After the game, Bears head coach Matt Nagy confirmed that Fields had suffered an injury to his right hand. He did not provide any further details about the severity of the injury.
The injury to Fields is a huge blow to the Bears, who were hoping to get off to a strong start this season. Fields had looked impressive in the preseason and was expected to be the team’s starting quarterback this year.
Fields’ injury will likely mean that veteran quarterback Nick Foles will take over as the starter for the Bears. Foles has plenty of experience in the NFL and has led teams to success in the past. However, it’s unclear how long Fields will be out for and whether or not he will be able to return this season.
The Bears are hoping that Fields’ injury is not too serious and that he will be able to return soon. In the meantime, they will have to rely on Foles to lead them through the season. It will be interesting to see how Foles performs in his new role and if he can help the Bears reach their goals this year.
