Chicago Bears injury news: QB Justin Fields will miss his 3rd straight game, plus Jaquan Brisker and Tremaine Edmunds updates

Chicago Bears coach Matt Eberflus met with reporters Monday at Halas Hall to recap Sunday’s 30-13 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers.

Eberflus said quarterback Justin Fields will miss a third straight game Sunday as he continues his recover from a dislocated right thumb. Eberflus classified Fields as “week to week” with the injury he suffered Oct. 15 against the Minnesota Vikings.

 

Eberflus said Fields is “improving” but wouldn’t say whether he has tried throwing as he works to regain his grip strength.

“I’m not going to get into particulars, but he is progressing,” Eberflus said. “We like where he is right now.”

Fields traveled with the Bears to SoFi Stadium and was on the sideline for the Chargers game.

Undrafted rookie Tyson Bagent completed 25 of 37 passes for 232 yards with no touchdown passes, two interceptions and a 62 passer rating in place of Fields. He led two touchdown drives, including one he capped with a 1-yard run, but the Bears fell behind early and couldn’t catch up amid a host of mistakes.
